America's Top 40 New Cars
14. JAGUAR XF SUPERCHARGED
WHY IT'S ON OUR HIT PARADE: Jaguar needed a solid hit, and slammed a home run with the XF. Design chief Ian Callum has successfully reinvented Jaguar's design language for modern times. Superb packaging, a custom-tailored cabin, and class-competitive driving dynamics make for a midsize luxo/sport sedan that can more than dice with the German stalwarts.
COOL FACT: The XF's starter button pulses like a heartbeat, awaiting your command.
SUM UP: A 420-horse breath of fresh air put one of England's most storied brands back in the game. Ford sold too soon.
