message: Does anyone have a picture of the car looking at the front corner(One of the best profiles for most cars IMHO), both of the ones in the article show only the back of the car.

Yes, The Equalizer drove (sic), drove a US Spec Jaguar XJ12 Sovereign (Daimler name not used in US as it's associated with heavey trucks, apparently!) LewisR (talk) 09:19, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

message: The last lines of this section say: "The old "Lucas Jokes" are more applicable to a 60's MG than an '80's XJS. Potential owners are encouraged to visit Jag-Lovers for considerably more information."
For those not in the know (like me) it would be good to clarify:
-"Lucas Jokes"
-Jag-lovers (is this a website, a store, a country, what? I'd go if I knew!)

thread_title: XJS Today section

message: In the section which begins the 1980s you say it was the fastest automatic car in the world with 0-60mph in 5.7s and 168mph.  I have never seen a standard car get anywhere near that.  The cars built around 1981 seem to be about the quickest ones with 0-60s usually taking around 7.5s with a top speed around 155mph. The best I have seen for a standard car was 0-60mph in 6.5s and 157mph which Autocar tested in 1980/81 and this was probably one of those 'special' cars which the press sometimes get loaned when a new car is launched or in this case a high efficiency model 192.91.75.30 08:39, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Mark IV

message: I edited this article on May 24, 2009, but my name came out as an IP Address, which I'm kind of frustrated with. Anyways, the transition between generations is kind of confusing and the article definitely needs some more information on the subject. I am not an owner of a Jaguar XJS nor do I know anyone who is, so I am of no help to the issue. If there is someone who could help, I (and I am sure many others) would very much appreciate it.

replies: text: This tends to happen most obviously with entries that draw enthusiastic contributions from a large number of people.   If you have time to impose a more rigid structure (without losing all the good info and source data that's lurking in there) you'll be doing everyone a service.   The good news is that entries with a good structure and plenty of sub-headings in the right places  tend to retain a certain coherence better (than the more rambling entries) through several subsequent edits by subsequent enthusiastic contributors.   And the longer you leave a rambling entry unreformed, the more rambling it becomes.   There are even people who will plan to add something useful, but then hold off from so doing because the entry is so formless that they feel adding information would merely be adding to its soup-like qualities. And (of course) it's easier to impose a structure BEFORE all that useful / interesting extra "information on the subject" has been added.   But I guess the bad news is that even where you do impose a structure, (1) it's not easy and (2) other folks will think your structure is "all-wrong" and (3) it will need redoing in a month or twenty.   And it's very easy to start reforming an entry and to give up in despair or boredom half-way through, which rather undermines your original objectives.   But if you feel strongly about this and have the time, please do it.   Before anyone else adds to the scale of the task.   Success.  Charles01 (talk) 06:04, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Overall problems with the article 

message: Hi, I was looking at this page and I noticed that none of the pictured XJSs have a rear spoiler. My father owns such a beast, a 1991 facelift 4L model, so when I get a chance I'll grab a pic and put it up. Also, I changed "LA" to "Los Angeles" as the abbreviation is confusing for non-USA readers (such as myself).

I was recently flipping through a book on the XJS and saw a version of the car that was stretched, the extra length (circa 10 inches?) was added for the rear passengers and resulted in longer rear side windows. At first glance, to a layman, it looks like a regular XJS. Lynx created it and only one was built, apparently. Anyone ever heard of this? --76.115.67.114 (talk) 04:08, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

message: In the "1980s" section is a sub-section on "Lynx Eventer and Performer".  I am bringing this section to the talk page to discuss if this aftermarket company belongs in this article about the XJS.   Thoughts? 72Dino (talk) 15:04, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
