JaguarDrive Spied!

IN the XKR, no less.

Looks better than I thought it would, pretty clean and close to the concept. I hope it's more intuitive than what Zee germans cooked up!

IMHO, no one has yet to pull off a system that "really works" - simple, intuitive/user-friendly, and most importantly - not a distraction. If Jaguar can pull it off, I salute them.

I had actually hoped that Jaguar would avoid gimmicks like this and concentrate on something far more important, the drive itself. IMO it would suit the sportier image Jaguar should naturally have, and avoiding items like this, 'smart' cruise control, etc., etc., could and should hold an appeal all it's own for the enthusiast community...the whole "you drive our cars they don't drive you" angle. And yet here they go following the leader once again.
