I believe there may have been other votes taking place today, but this is the ONE!

Jag, I don't like modern Mercs

Neither...... not enough space for the dogs :D

And there I was hoping it was a vote on Brexit.
The Jaguar but only if I had the money to waste.

A hard decision. If I had that kind of cash, I'd probably trust the Merc more, although I am cynical about both manufacturer's commitment to genuine reliability and customer service. That kind of money would buy me 10 - 15 cars at the sort of price I normally pay!

Merc, all day long........ and then another day.......... and one after that.......

Mercedes for me ..
The Jaguar dressed like that would look better with the McDonalds drive through gang.
Cheers Ian

Jag for me anyday.

The Mercedes all day every day, nicer colour and nicer interior, not to mention nicer to drive, and unlikely to fall to bits like the Jag.

Brian :D

Merc :drool4: - the Jag is a wee bit too :getmecoat: toned down tho.....hmmm still the Merc :D



If Voting Changed Anything, They Would Make It Illegal.



Paul.

Jag for me I'm afraid. The back of the Merc looks like somebody sat on it.

After working with aa Jaguar Main Dealer I always yearned for one some day.
That “dream” was realised four years ago when we purchased a lovely 3.0 XF

Yes it was lovely to look at, great to drive but reliability issues were a problem and my local main dealer simply ripped me off.
On top of that I had to fight Jaguar Cars tooth and nail to get badly corroded doors replaced.
Just one month after getting four new doors the car was written off in a non fault accident.
I’ve owned a Rover consistently since 1986, I currently have three plus two other British cars, a Mini and a Vanden Plas Princess 1300 but I needed a change so purchased a CLS Shooting Brake and have never regretted it for a moment.

Merc, by a country mile.

The red one looks nice:getmecoat:

I'd go for the Merc as there are a couple of issues with the Jag - the exterior colour and the interior colour. :D

I fancy something a tad smaller!:}

Jag for me, no question about it.

Your only as young as the woman you feel........:eek:

They are both lovely cars I love the Jag but the build quality is no match for the Merc but I've never been a Merc man. I've sold a few over the years and they just didn't do it for me.

That is very nice, but perhaps a "youngster's car" rather than the forum membership? :}

That was a quick response. I deleted the first reponse thinking it may cause targeted offense as opposed to offending the majority. :D

Voting
 

Definitely the Jag for me, but I would say that, as I own two of them, and never liked German Cars

Stu

Merc
 

Having looked at both ....

Merc. The interior colour and space and I have always fancied a big Merc.

Having said that I wouldn't refuse the Jaguar if I was getting it free of charge but paying the money ...( after Lotto win) I would spend it on the Merc.


:drool4:

Chris

Neither!
Far too pricey, system too tricky & design too modern and impersonal.
The first is an actual Tata, the second a cocky German.
Neither is genuinely British nor has British class.
I stick to my Rovers...

Neither, they are both horrid.

I did originally say the Jag, however after having another look I wouldn't want to own either. Nothing looks worse than an old man driving round in something that looks like that. Willy extensions comes to mind.

There comes a time when you need something of quality but understated.

Cannot make my mind up.
 

Cannot make my mind up. Just buy both.....

Alternatively, you could get a nice MG-ZT for everyday use, and with the change get yourself a nice play thing.

Or if you just want to spend it on a single car:

Jag exterior,Merc interior.
As for the above,nothing wrong with that if needs must.:D

It's the Merc for me all day long :D

I wouldn't have a Mercedes with a "V" type engine with cylinder de-activation. Now, I don't know if they all have that "feature" or not, but certainly the V12s do. V8s, not sure? I have 2 friends with S600s. Both have had the cylinder de-activation parts fail. One repair required the removal of the intake and both cylinder heads, the other required a replacement engine (more economical than repairing).

What countries make that class of car? I think Germany and Japan - and I'm not sure if Japan really does (Lexus?). I don't think the Americans have anything to compare.

I know it's supposed to be a choice between the two but ... neither tbh.
They are both lovely cars bristling with technology and design but neither float my boat, perhaps if the Mercedes choice was a 1969 280 SL and the jaguar choice was a 1961 FHC E type, I would be torn between the two.
For me ... Jaguar saloons stopped being just that with the demise of the XJR 4.2 supercharged.
I'm just a bit set in my ways, the new jags just don't look like a Jag is supposed to look. IMO.
So ... i'll pick the Merc ... sell it immediately and by a classic Jaguar.

If I had to choose one, it'd definitely be the Jag. Also, 542 BHP, wow. But look at that tax and insurance category...

Probably the Mercedes.

Ok, here's my order of preference for V8 cars that I regularly drool over.

1. Jaguar Sportbrake XFR-S (There is something about a large, powerful estate that saloons just cannot match in my view. Also, in my view all V8 engines should have a supercharger as opposed to turbocharger(s) or be naturally aspirated.)

1. Equal - XKR soft top.

2. Mercedes CLS 63 (I also love coupes body types and the CLS design/interior is as close to a "British Classic" as a German car gets).

3. BMW 650i in coupe format.

4. S type R (Supercharged)

5. Jaguar XFRS and E63 in the 6.3 litre naturally aspirated format.

I could live with a Mustang purely for the sound. :}

Definitely the Mercedes for me, love the colour.:}

And there's more to drool over
 

I saw an XJ 575 on the M25 recently and fell in live.

Here are a couple I would not mind having on the drive.

Lottery ticket purchased for Friday. :}

Agree 100% , especially about the colour. :bowdown:

Neither float my boat, rather have an Alfa romeo with some real styling ;)

I used to own an Alfa 33 Gold Cloverleaf Sportwagon.....a lovely car to drive with it's flat four boxer engine.........would I have one again??


Nope :D
