The Jaguar X Type is built on the Ford Mondeo platform.
I personally do not like the X Type for the same reason I don't like the C Class, because in my eyes they're not really... a Jaguar... Simply because they're what people who can't afford a Jaguar but want to pretend they can buy. But being a car enthusiast, my opinions are a little harsher.
I stand corrected. But I agree 100%. My Father taught me the same way. I don't like them for the same reason. He always called them the poor man's jag.

C Class = MB Starter Kit

 
for that kinda money you can have a brand new Honda Civic.....a few dollars more a new Civic Si If your a teenager get something with a warranty that will be dependable....

I don't think so on the taurus part. I have a 94 taurus. My dad had the 02 XJR until this year and now he has an 08 Taurus. I've ridden in the baby jag's too - they all have a very nice ride. I would not get one though because of labor and because well.So many things went wrong with the XJR and it was supposed to be their flagship car. I still liked it - but I wasn't paying the bills.

EDIT: They are on the lincoln ls platform. Wow. Have also had an 00 LS v8. Also a nice ride!

EDITEDIT: In case your wondering. Ford sold jaguar just this year.
the S-Type Jag is built on the LS/Taurus footprint.

this X-Type is built on the Countour/Escort format. the radio harness and kits are interchangeable. speakers/dooranels are identical in mounting like an escort. drivetrain is a bit different, but the thing is an escort at its heart. for $16K, get a cobalt ss or something. their fast and parts are easy to find.

Edit: had myself confused with the XJ. Also did some quick research, and I guess the S-Type did not share a platform with the Taurus. It used the DEW98 Platform that underpinned the LS, the Mustang, and the Thunderbird.

 
Be a real pimp, and get a mid eighties 6 or 7 series bmw.

If you can afford to keep the car up, then it'll be all you ever need.....especially that 6series! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

S-Type also uses Taurus kit, harness, same bypass. alarm installs similar. built like a ford at jag prices
