To honour the beginning of the previous series with Great Britain, I will do the same again for this second running.
The rules are simple: Nominate the best currently produced (2008-2009) British car. Everyone gets one nomination, and if someone mentions yours before you get to, feel free to second it, or add something else.
Also! Don't hesitate to trash talk a bit over the different nominations, that's a big part of what makes this series fun.
To get things started....
================================
For the title of "Best Car: Great Britain," YSSMAN nominates:
The 2008 Jaguar XF
Many of you are aware of my strange (but otherwise silent) love for all things Jaguar. In a world dominated by Mercedes and BMW, Jaguar in my opinion stands out for not following their playbook... Until now. Certainly, the same British standards are used. There is plenty of wood, plenty of high quality leather, and just a feeling of "home" that the otherwise robotic Germans do not have.
Every review I have read has been nothing but positive. Performance is top-notch, quality is of the best, and yet it is still just as quiet and isolated as you'd predict a Jaguar to be. I love their new automatic gear change dial, the pulsing red starter button, and the outside is just plain stunning. Its classic Jaguar, and yet, it is distinctly modern... Showing the way for the entire brand in the future.
Certainly there are other British cars that are more-practical, more-affordable, and may in fact be better choices. But to be honest, all of that doesn't matter when you're choosing a Jaguar.

That car doesn't work for me, I hate all Rolls Royces and Bentleys. Overweight pointless pieces of crap, I'd take a Limo if I wanted luxury that expensive.
