Acura or be plagued by Jaguar problems. However if you like BMW they are just getting broken in at 200,000km.

The Jag would be nice for the style, power and rear drive. Maintenence costs would most likely be higher.

Ford owns the North American rights to Mazda and Volvo. They make some Mazda products but as far as I know, they do not make Volvo. However, they do make Jaguar.

You'll look more pimp in the jag thats for sure, the nameplate is way better than acura, and IMO it looks better

but with the acura you wont have as much problems for sure, and it still looks pretty damn pimp

All decent class cars. I am surprised they aren't that expensive.

I would pick RL, but Jag has that European touch to it. People look at these two cars differently.

rofl, don't you have enough cars already
"93 Probe GT, 95 Civic, 90 Teg, 92 Talon Tsi, 98 Golf k2, 98 Jetta GT"
if you want to sell that 90 teg or 92 talon tsi to make room for the new car let me know


i would go for the acura for sure, such a beautiful car. the jag is nice, but expensive in repairs and maintenance.
