The Omega Replacement conundrum, Part 2

[Doctor Gollum]

Brothers '62 335d swallows a similar commute with ease, New Forest to Bracknell. Returns decent mpg too.  And before you say seat comfort, he is the same height as me, but a couple of stone heavier...

A 335d does not meet the criteria set out in the original post.

Only price... Rest of it it does. In spades.

Price (by some margin) and the stupid white and blue bits.

Well what can you do...

I did say in the original post that I have absolute no interest in cockmobiles certain brands so as to avoid suggestions that wouldn't be worthwhile

[Lazydocker]

I've driven a FX of similar age and can tell you that the engine is quite spritely.

I do know that recently someone had a lot of issues with ab Infinity though... Frustrating electrical issues that stranded them repeatedly. I believe they (Infinity) have now replaced the car because they couldn't resolve the issues.

Yes. Well made, too.

Infiniti are basically 'boulevard cruisers' made for lard-arsed yanks.

Hmmm, you're putting me off. Yanks don't do corners.

Least you know your covered for the other aspect though   

Seriously though, you could alter the suspension, as you don't like standard Omega setup....

I shall have a little look further, not something I'd considered.

Nor has anyone else: I bet you struggle to find one to even look at.

Cant understand people not liking the looks of an XJ. I think they are a georgous looking car, which is why the basic lines remained the same for around 40 years, yet still looked better than most of its competitors. Real style and class doesn't date.
We are all different though.

Nor me, I forgot that they`re rear wheel drive, and being Japanese they should be reliable and the interiors are a lot better these days

Yup... but TB has taken quite a lot of the choices out and not many make RWD anymore 

Anyway there`s nowt wrong with Datsun`s.....you`ll find out when I visit Nigel Langs in a month or so

That 40 years is the problem; Jaguars were originally stylish, modern, fashionable and trend-setting designs. Then they just gave up, and blurred the previous design a bit more. The latest ones, XJs in particular are the result of going back to Jaguar's roots. The XE is a lovely thing too; sharp, aggressive, perfectly proportioned and without all the fussy features that infest the competition.

Quite fancied one before my commute changed. Still not ruled it out, but even with a TDV8, £100 of fuel ain't going to last a week, so on the back burner for now.

The previous model now looks very dated. Has for 15 or more years. That's not necessarily a bad thing, some like the retro look, but its not for me.
