Man, to have the money to make THAT choice.

Yeah they'll be a contender but I don't think Jaguar is as serious about this as Mercedes or BMW. BMW will still trump them in the handling department and Mercedes will continue to outpower all of them. Jaguar I think will likely be eye-eye with Audi's "S" models rather than their RS or BMW/MB's M/AMG models.
