Beautiful, elegant, classy, sexy… these were some of the words that were used to describe the Jaguar XJL Portfolio when I showed it to some of my friends and family members, and these are the words I would personally use to describe this incredible machine.  I had a chance to review the 2011 Jaguar XJ a couple of years ago, and if you look at my previous review, you’ll notice that I absolutely fell in love with that car and the long wheelbase version of the XJ is no different, I really enjoyed my week with this car.

In the world of large luxury sedans, there are a handful of choices: you could buy an S-Class, a 7-Series, an A8, an LS460, a Quattroporte, or the Jaguar XJ.  Now these are all great cars and I’d love to review them someday, but if you’re looking to stand out and not be “just another banker”, then the Maserati Quattroporte and Jaguar XJ are the cars to be in.  But if you want to spend $100k or less, then the Quattroporte is out of the running.

Pictures of the Mercedes-Benz CLA have been floating around the internet for quite some time but nothing was official until Mercedes would confirm. The vehicle has been spotted on numerous occasions in its disguised variant being tested and as expected, Mercedes finally made it official. To many including myself, the Mercedes CLA kind of looks like a mini version of the CLS but then again, they do share the same DNA.

The CLA is a four-door sports sedan and will be using the MFA front-wheel drive platform which is also shared with the Mercedes A-Class while a 4Matic drive system will be available as an option. The vehicle will make its official debut

There is no way in hell I would ever consider purchasing a van unless it was either for business, or if I happened to have too many kids. But even so, I always thought it would be interesting to play around with a soccer mom minivan which looks mostly stock, but is a complete monster under the hood. It could be a fun little project if you had some money to throw around, and it seems I’m not the only one who thinks that way. The technicians over at KTW Tuning are on the same page and did just that.
