The XKR-S offers Maserati-level performance for tens of thousands less (about $132k).
Blocking Ian’s shot of something.
The Jaguar XF.
As it ages, the XK convertible continues to be modern and beautiful.
Dogs and groceries go here.
Beautiful wood
The XF.
My dream sedan, the Jaguar XJL.
Stunning door panels with generous wood.
Contrasting piping on soft leather.
Wood from ear to ear. A jeweled touch-sensitive button for opening the glove box.
Soft stitched leather on every surface.
Lighted storage slot
Black felt material sandwiched between the window and door. An outstanding detail.
The styling of the rear end, primarily the trunklid and tail lights, needs a little bit of work. It’s a minor flaw on an outstanding shape.
Over to Hyundai
The headlights of the Genesis sedan.
The interior of the Genesis is aging well.
Back seat of the Equus
The new Azera. This car struggles to find its place in the market.
Azera’s back seat looks reasonable.
The interior is fine, quite nice in most areas.
Hyundai Veloster turbo. The back seat was NOT comfortable for me, but no one is really expected to ride back there anyway.
McLaren MP4-12C.
0-124mph in 8.9 seconds.
$230,000
It averages 18mpg, in case you cared.
That’s my brother, me, and Marvin from left to right.
Maserati Grancabrio, one of the most beautiful convertibles in production. Like a Rolls Royce, you can order almost every piece of the interior in whatever color you want.
$130,000.
Maserati Granturismo
$123,000
Designed by Pininfarina.
The 2012 Aston Martin Rapide. Possibly the most beautiful thing with four doors ever made.
Another Aston
Maserati Quattroporte
