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

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

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.

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.

Roker · 16th January 2019, 08:58

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:
