Jaguar XJR Supercharged

Beautiful as it is, Jaguar XJR Supercharged is no longer worth the high price.

Technology mutes elitism by making widely available things once held as exclusive.

Increased accessibility leaves nobility exposed to the wisdom and will of the masses.

It turns luxury into necessity and destroys the concept of prestige in the process.

Consider as an example the 2008 Jaguar XJR Supercharged sedan.

It is one of the most expensive, most luxurious, best-performing Jaguars ever made.

But there is precious little on the XJR Supercharged sedan that cannot be found on a good middle-income family car, or on an entry-level luxury automobile, or on a rival luxury model at a substantially lower price.

I miss the days when a wonderfully smooth, 400-horsepower engine easily placed me ahead of most other cars on the road -- not to be chased, and often passed, by automobiles with Dodge, Chevrolet, Ford, Acura, Audi and Lexus badges.
