Follow-up on XJ6

Finally gratified a childhood wish (described in thread below) and tried an XJ6. The best part was the view over that long hood, with the leaper leading the way. Alas for the rest. Interior fittings seemed gaudy and some -- e.g. steering wheeel, shifter --- oddly cheap next to a similar-vintage 9000. Torque is good (not amazing, just good), but ride is very soft compared to Saab -- almost, dare one say it, Lincolnesque. Seats feel smaller and are much nearer the ground, leaving a six+-footer with real doubts about comfort over the long run. Add what I already knew about the tiny trunk and weak mileage, and I don't think I'll be pursuing it. Too bad, because I still think the pre-2004 XJs are the prettiest cars out there.
