Grandad had 2 successive XJ6s in London, they were superb cars and I was young and impressionable. It's always been a goal to have an I6 Jag and while they have had V6, I4 and V8, those just aren't the same as his XK inline 6s. Now I can get them new, new generation, new inline 6 Jags.

Probably not, but have you tried the V6? I have an XE S, and SC V6 is fantastic. Smooth and has a great note.

The supercharged V6 in the XE, RRS was a great motor, great growl, but I'm more excited they've done an in-house I6. Hope you enjoy your XE-S.

Noooooooooooooooo!

The JLR V8 is to die for, anything else would be a downgrade.

I've already been dreaming of the 6 cylinder one
