Talk:Jaguar XK

message: It's commmon for high performance cars to be limited to 155mph, however the XK8's top speed is actually 156mph, unlimited. I have a link, but it won't wiki cos of the @ symbols:

Although the Jaguar is not as expensive as some hypercars such as the Aston Martin DB7, it does not have the quality and prestige of an Aston.  It falls between classes really, being neither a sports car nor a GT.  Sales vary sharply across markets too.  Here in London it's a common alternative to the ubiquitous Porsche 911, but in other markets it has struggled. akaDruid 10:09, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not ignoring this, however I'm looking for some more information. The 156 mph I believe only applies to model year 1997 which had an inferior EGR system and electronic control module... I'll get back to you. --Hcheney 02:07, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: Forgive me if I'm missing something, but it appears to me that the article gives a false impression of the history of the Jaguar XK.  As written, it sounds like the XK series debuted in 1996.  Udibi (talk) 21:23, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello. I'm posting in response to a request on the Third Opinion page for a neutral viewpoint regarding the appropriateness of the link to the XK8Forum site from this article. I have not edited this article (or any Jaguar-related articles, for that matter), and have no acquaintance with either of the editors involved in the dispute.
The Wikipedia:Manual of Style states that links to foreign-language sites (in this case, non-English sites) should not be used except in limited situations.  The XK8Forum link does not appear to meet any of these situations.  Therefore, it appears to be inappropriate for the English-language Wikipedia, and I would suggest that it be removed.
It would be wonderful if a French translation of this article could be written in the French version of Wikipedia; the XK8Forum link would then appear to be highly appropriate for that version. Kickaha Ota 22:16, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi,
I'm sorry to have to say this but this article is quite poorly written and does not fully take into account of the full lineage of the Jaguar XK range. Little detail is given about he X100 and is more given towards the later model. In some areas, it reads like a sales brochure, with mininmal citations. Please note this is not a personal attack but an observation. I will try to put together a university accepted article that will hopefully clear some of these issues up. Please note, this may take time as I have many other academic committments. I shall also be using some of my contacts at Jaguar to help clear up any mistakes that could be included in this article. 94.169.13.20 (talk) 03:41, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
