Never thought of it. I have not heard good things about the X-type
generally. The Jags have always been, um, slightly different. The big sedans
are wonderful to drive, in a grand cruising sort of way, but their
ergonomics are quite mediocre.

The X-type, IIRC, is a world car, built on a Ford (Mondeo?) platform. Too
small and slow, with dubious ancestry :)
