In answer to John, I think I'd buy the Rover, the main reason being that I prefer the looks - I'm still not 100% sure about the look of the headlights on the Jag.
Now if I could put the engine from the Jag into the Rover......

Answering Ken, there is a small difference in attittude from other road users, but nowhere near as pronounced as in your case.
I think the main difference is that they never seem to expect the Rover to pull away as quickly as it does, whereas they seem to expect the Jag to - for example 'boy racer' types will quite often pull up alongside at traffic lights when I'm in the Rover, thinking they can quite easily get past, but it doesn't seem to happen half as much when I'm in the Jag & they seem quite happy to sit behind you.
Weird isn't it what a difference a badge makes?
