Actually they don't eat a ton of fuel because of the twin-turbo installed.
It's not a sport car. It's a high-speed luxus car.
If you are looking for real control take some other.
If you want to cruise and have the possibility to get 60mph in 5.4 seconds - that car is for you.
actually it has a supercharger, not twin-turbos.

i have a XJR and really like it. i call it my 'cadillac on steriods'. its actually been very reliable - on par with the BMW i had previous. the only downside is that maintenance, even normal servicing, is crazy expensive.

my gas mileage runs around 13 MPG usually since most of my driving is city driving.

i've seen the new Jag XK8s - they look cool but i like the DB8 better which is based on the same platform but much quicker and better looking - though its $40K more too.
