Organized by the South East Automotive Media Organization (SEAMO), Jaguar’s C-XF concept car was voted the 2007 North American Production Preview Vehicle of the Year Award.

According to juror Chris Poole, “The Jaguar C-XF reinterprets Jaguar's traditional 'grace, space, pace' in a fresh, original new way – which is no easy task. And, all without a sign of [retrospective design]."



These awards recognize vehicles that are most likely to shape the future of the automobile industry. With more than two dozen professional automotive journalists from all over North America on the jury panel, the Jaguar C-XF was selected amongst 11 Production Preview Concept Vehicles that were launched in North America during the 2007 Auto Show season.

“We are honored that the Jaguar C-XF was voted 2007 Production Preview Vehicle of the Year Award in such a highly competitive segment," said Marti Eulberg, executive vice president of Marketing and Sales, Jaguar North America. “Although purely a concept vehicle, the C-XF definitely signals a new design direction for Jaguar.”

The Jaguar C-XF concept car made its debut on January 7, 2007 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Mich. It's a stunning four-door sedan that blends dynamic, modern features with classic heritage cues and boasts a 4.2-liter supercharged V8 engine.

In January 2007, the Jaguar C-XF also won AutoWeek’s Editors' Choice Award for Best in Show.

Jaguar Canada recently accepted a National Readers Choice Award naming the Jaguar XK as the AutoNerve Magazine “Best of 2007.”

The Jaguar XK has been engineered above and beyond the high expectations that customers rightly have for a Jaguar sports car, a fact made possible because everything from its advanced aluminum chassis to its sophisticated transmission and exquisite interior has been designed in pursuit of a luxurious, advanced and stunning new Jaguar.

The 2007 Jaguar XK allowed Jaguar to emerge as a world leader in Lightweight Vehicle Technology while retaining its reputation for beautifully designed and crafted cars.

“We are very pleased that AutoNerve readers recognized the Jaguar XK as the best among all convertibles,” said Gary Moyer, president of Jaguar Canada. “We have always known that the Jaguar XK represents the very best in automotive engineering and design and it's great that national readers and customers agree.”

Readers were invited to vote for the best model in nine categories via ballot published in AutoNerve Magazine, in Chinese newspapers nationwide, on the web, as well as at the Vancouver Auto Show.

“The upcoming summer season has us dreaming of a long drive on a beautiful sunny day, " said Moyer. "What better way to enjoy the weather than in a beautiful Jaguar XK convertible?”

The 2007 Jaguar XK, offered in both coupe and convertible is a representation of how Jaguar’s sports cars offer cutting-edge technology to match their unparalleled appearance . Manufacturer's suggested retail price for the coupe version is $103,000 (CAD) and the 2007 Jaguar XK Convertible is $113,000 (CAD).

Jaguar’s supercharged Jaguar XKR Convertible voted the #1 car Americans want to drive on a summer road trip

Jaguar’s supercharged 420-horsepower Jaguar XKR Convertible was voted number one in Kelley Blue Book's list of cars best-suited for road trips.

Compiled by the road test editors of Kelley Blue Book, the Jaguar XKR Convertible was short-listed against 10 other new vehicles and then surveyed by shoppers on which vehicle they would most like to take on the road this summer. Top of the list was the Jaguar XKR Convertible, ahead of BMW’s 3-Series Convertible and the Chevrolet Suburban.

“In choosing our list, we wanted to include a vehicle for every journey – from weekend jaunts of one or two people, to week-long escapades that involve one or two entire families and maybe a dog and a boat,” said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book and kbb.com. “Our selection criteria included all the tangible and intangible need-to-have attributes such as driving enjoyment, passenger comfort, fuel economy and cargo space.”

“The same sexy sheet metal found on the Jaguar XK is adorned with sportier accoutrements that reflect the 420-horsepower supercharged V8 and livelier suspension underneath,” they added.

For eight years in a row, Kelley Blue Book’s Kbb.com web site has been North America’s most-visited auto site, according to J.D. Power and Associates, and the top automotive information site by Nielsen/Net Ratings.

Back in February, the Jaguar XKR was voted ‘Best Dream Machine’ in MotorWeek TV’s 2007 Driver’s Choice Awards.
