2010 Jaguar XJ makes its North American debut

Behold the all new 2010 Jaguar XJ as it makes its North American debut at Pebble Beach. Although we here at Carlyle Motor Club were snubbed on the invitation by the organizers of this event, we're sure it was just a slight oversight on one of the "higher-ups" part.

But we digress, as we've told you from our first encounter with the car a month ago, the new 2010 Jaguar XJ will be available in regular or extended wheelbase form, with one of three variations of the company's direct-injected 5.0 liter V8 underhood. The base models get a 385-horsepower normally-aspirated version; the XJ Supercharged gets boosted to 470 hp; and the top-of-the-line Supersport gets the XFR's 510-hp mill. Prices will range from a base of $72,500 to $115,000, making this one dear kitty. No matter the price, it's one striking sedan, and we can't wait to get some seat time soon.

Porsche Panamera makes North American debut

Here are some new real-life photos of the all-new 2010 Porsche Panamera. The jury is still out on the exterior styling, but we're pleasantly surprised with the beauty of the overall layout and finishes in the interior.

Early spy shots revealed a seemingly awkward center console. The following interior photo from this weekend shows a dash seamlessly integrated with the center console.

Needless to say, we here at Carlyle Motor Club are looking forward to our first shipment of Panameras (Panamerae?). Call today to be placed on our waiting list. (888) 804-7852
