Jaguar XJL Supercharged Neiman Marcus

Recession? What recession? The special 50 unit limited run Neiman Marcus edition Jaguar XJL Supercharged listed in their Christmas book for US$10,000 more than its regular price of US$90,500 were all sold out in just 4 hours and 4 minutes once phone lines opened for booking. Beyond the 50 bookings, Jaguar continued taking bookings and putting them on a waiting list in case a phone booking did not translate into a sale.

The Neiman Marcus XJL comes in an exclusive Celestial Black metallic paint exterior and a custom butter-soft navy and ivory leather interior. It is also equipped with 20-inch double-10 spoke polished alloy wheels, illuminated tread plates and trunk finisher as well as the nameplate inside that reads: “Neiman Marcus 1 of 50.”

    Yo idiot… the article is abt Jag’s, not proton. BTW the satria r3’s had no problem being shifted la. In fact, it has quite a loyal following and the original ones are quite sort after. People who know abt these cars know that r3 did more then just a simple bolt-on of parts. They really researched what they put on and did to the car. (and no, i don’t have r3 shares, or even own a proton for that matter)

    torque,

    those have nothing else to say but still want to say something. also, i guess they are totally not exposed to the automotive world as well. hence, their only reference is to whatever they see most on our roads. glad you think otherwise. it is getting soooo tiring to read posts like the one above. also, it is totally annoying to read posts that go like “looks like… (you fill in the blank lah)”.
