With the new year coming up fast, it seems that everybody is gearing up to check out all sorts of car lease specials; especially with the many rumored super cars that are coming out in 2008. One of these cars is more anticipated than any other, and that's none other than the new Jaguar XF. Unlike the Jaguar of old, this one really does resemble the mean looks of an actual big cat. The Jaguar XF goes beyond the traditional standards of the classy Jag we are all used to.
What we know about this jaguar that's due out in March is that while it uses the old S-Type bases and suspension from the XK coupe, what it looks like is entirely different. It takes on a sportier more than luxurious look although it doesn't give up too much as it still looks like a million dollars. It will definitely be a head turner for a much younger market, but this doesn't mean it will alienate the Jaguar's dedicated market as it still retains the class that Jag is known for; this is especially true if you manage to get one of these car lease specials in a dark color, like black.
What you see outside is definitely not true inside the XF. The exterior is a lot ore buff but inside, you may be surprised with the luxury of space that you will enjoy. The seats are not as bulky as you might expect and this offers an impression of more air and space. However, this is a good thing, especially with all the things that this car packs in. Expect wood and aluminum alloy on the inner sides, a lowered dashboard, a rotary gear selector in the center and a starter button that flashes upon entering the car. As a standard, consumers get cruise control, heated seats and satellite navigation! That leaves room for the imagination as far as add-ons are concerned.
Speaking of room, the Jaguar XF has just enough of it. In fact, a six-foot person sitting in the back will actually have a lot of head room left between his or head and the ceiling. Foot room is quite spacious but the 500-liter trunk space is a lot more generous and the back seats also fold for additional space.
Expect the Jaguar XF to ?hit the shelves? on March 1 2008. It will come in two whopping 4.2 liter V8 models, one with a supercharger and one without. There will also be a 3.0 liter V6 for the slightly less adventurous and a 2.7 liter V6 turbo diesel for the gas-consumption conscious. This is the definitely the cat to beat as soon as it hits the market and at over $60,000, this price range is only rivaled by Germany's BMW 550i M Sport. It all depends in what class you choose to belong to when it comes to shopping for the top car leasing specials.
For those who were expecting it to be released in 2008, you will most probably have to bump that up in your calendars to 2009--March, to be exact; but even that could be changed considering the work that has been put into this monster. So what is so special about this that car lease specials will be all over it the second it comes out? Well, it may be interesting to note that the people over at Nissan are specifically benchmarking their pet project against the Porsche 911 Turbo. And why not? The Nissan GT-R is rumored to have only the most advanced in engine technology that building the engine itself has required its own space in the company’s Yokohama factory.
Let’s get this straight: the Nissan GT-R is a speed demon. It can go from 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds and very little turbo lag. For now, it seems that the noise that all the revving makes is something intended but knowing the Japanese, they will probably look for some kind of solution behind all the roaring created. Nissan has also made sure that the GT-R when purchased will definitely be something difficult to maintain. Its all-steel turbochargers are a far cry from the ceramic ones installed in their last Skyline GT-R release.
This speedy monster of car lease specials seems to be quite safe to drive as well in the sense that its body is solid and secure. It weighs more than the Porsche 911 which means that it will be extremely stable on the road. Coupled with weighty steering and the four-wheel drive system, it should handle turns and corners quite easily.
The Nissan GT-R is in a class all on its own as you look at its own individual specs. Its rumored to have 200 more horsepower than the last GT-R, twin turbo V6, advanced four-wheel drive, gearshift and traction control, adjustable dampers (comfort, normal, and race modes), and a double-clutch gearbox. To top it all off, a driver will be glad to know that the car will consist of both aluminum and carbon fiber. The 3.8 liter, twin V6 is quite impressive and ever since Japan’s lift on the limit for all cars to only reach 280 horsepower, Nissan has not let up on beefing up the Nissan GT-R with only best in engine class. Let’s just say as far as car lease specials go, this is one vehicle that you don’t want to leave out of your radar. And it’s definitely a legend even if it hasn’t hit the roads already.
