Introduction

Jaguar XK - 2007 First Drive: He stood so still that he could have been a wooden statue, carved and hardened from toil in the fields of South Africa, a memorial for the working poor among the wealthy grapes of Stellenbosch. Hands on hips, he cut a dramatic image against the fading sunset, a laborer giving pause to listen to the songs of the Siyuvelo Choir - music that was as much a part of him as the singers. They were the beauty of this place. He was the sweat and grime from which such beautiful expression was forged.

In a flash he was gone, though his imprint etched the scene of this bewitching place at the end of the earth. Without his struggles, those songs would never be composed; without the tension of this spot on the earth, those songs would never be sung.

Struggles make for good, sometimes.
So perhaps it can be written that without the troubled days of the past, Jaguar would never have built the beautiful 2007 Jaguar XK with such sensual design, strong performance and lavish comfort. Designed by Ian Callum, whose credits include the Aston Martin DB7 and DB9, the new XK is a thoroughly modern interpretation of the Jaguar XK lineage, and an appropriate replacement for the ten-year-old XK8.vOn sale this spring for $75,500 (coupe) and $81,500 (convertible), the new XK embodies the tension of Jaguar's past, combined with the beauty for which the marque is known and the rich history of its nameplate, creating a clash that makes the premiere of the XK in South Africa, with its own contrasts, bewitchingly appropriate.

There's that word again. Truth is, the 2007 Jaguar XK will bewitch anyone who gives the car a chance. Some may not, though one look at the XK should at least nudge luxury sport coupe buyers into the cockpit. Jaguar, after all, has much ground to make up in the minds of luxury buyers. It's been a decade since the last new XK was introduced, and in that time Jaguar has had some pretty notable failures. Jaguar executives, acknowledging the obvious, admit that mistakes were made. As a result, there are waves of buyers with money to spend and little to no emotional connection to a brand that, at its best, could inject desire straight into the heart. The new XK can do that for you, and so it would be easy to say that Jaguar is back, that the intangibles the car gives to people echo the history of the XK and the romance of the cat.

A skeptical public will make that decision.
They will, as always, do it with their wallets, along with shifting patterns of want and desire. That will spell the fate of the 2007 Jaguar XK. It may end up being the car that starts a monumental turning point for a re-energized and legendary brand. Or it may be one of the very best cars no one ever really gives a chance. The contrast is as stunning as this car is...bewitching.

New Service for Boston Auto Buyers


A personal service used successfully by thousands of people across the country to purchase and lease vehicles at special discounted prices is now available in the Boston area. Named Premier Auto Connection, the service includes: locating all types of vehicles, both new or used, obtaining a very competitive price, determining the best leasing and finance options, obtaining top dollar for trade-ins, providing Extended Warranty Service Contracts for new and pre-owned vehicles, and offering a complete line of automotive accessories and services.

Vatche Keledjian, a local entrepreneur and owner of Premier Auto Connection, has spent a great deal of time and money researching and test marketing the service throughout the area. Reactions from participants have been positive. After using the service, several commented they would not buy, lease or handle their automotive needs any other way. The consensus was Premier Auto Connection eliminated the hassles and anxiety associated with buying a car. Plus, Premier Auto Connection saved them both time and money.

What is the secret to Premier Auto Connection ’s success? Unlike Internet buying services, auto clubs, brokers and other buying services, Keledjian said, Premier Auto Connection represents its clients, not the manufacturer, dealer or marketing company. Premier Auto Connection does not “push” any specific makes or models, and can handle new or used vehicles, purchased or leased. According to Keledjian, Premier Auto Connection customers receive honest information from professionals who are knowledgeable about all the “hidden incentives” and options that can save the customer a lot of money, and time.

“Next to purchasing a home, buying or leasing a vehicle may be the largest purchase a person can make,” Keledjian said. “We help by providing a personal, hands-on approach. We handle the entire deal, looking for every way to save people time, energy and money.”
