Jaguar says X-Type production will be below target

[NFS4]

I guess that Jaguar realizes that Americans won't buy their overpriced Mondeo-based A4 wannabe

Truth be told, I'm a little surprised. I see them around town rather often. I assumed they were selling well. *shrug*

On a side note, I saw a brand new black 745i on my lunch break this afternoon. Pure sex.

WTF! You liked something designed by Chris Bangle?

As for the Jaq, that doesn't come as a surprise. I hardly see the X-Type around and it simply doesn't hold a candle to Audi's offerings, especially considering the price.

And get this, I love the Z4 too! However, the spy pics/sketches of the 1, 5, and 6 series look hideous.

I agree, the X-type is rather overpriced for what you get. In all likelihood, I probably just see the same couple X-types over and over again to give the illusion of sales volume.

Hehehehe!

I've read that Audi's sales are down too. Down like 10% over last year.

Guess it must be due to Infiniti's resurgence.

Edit: actually, it's a 3% drop: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/dowjones/20020806/bs_dowjones/200208061047000492

First drop in 9 years.
