Wich of these car would you choose? I have chosen them because they are real sportscar, what is rare in this category.

I wouldnt be able to live with the automatic gearbox in the maserati, and even with the manual, id regret not buying the jag; its more sophisticated.
This was a tough decision but a Maserati is always a Maserati. So it got my vote.

I think unrestricted the Jaguar can do about 180mph (290km/h). The XJR gets my vote, because while both are wonderful, the jag makes more sense a luxury 4-door saloon. Though this one, both are great to be honest. If I could I would get an XJr an then a Maserati Coupé GT. :D

I voted for the XJR for the same reasons than Cotterik. And I like its look more.

Such a tough choice. But I'd ge the Jag, as long as I can remember I have had a love for the XJR.

I'd take the Jag because I like its looks a lot more than the Maserati's. It's also lighter and faster than the Maserati. I also like the interior more, it has a nice, traditional English feel.

Jaguar, 'cause I love Jaguars and it looks better ;). What I'd really want would be the Jaguar Super V8 ;).

i'Ve sat in the XJ & its nce except for that too much plastic is used in the controls. The maserati looks amazing, very rare & powerful. there's a Quattroporte in my University & it sounds amazing, even when its just going over the speed breaker it sounds like a sports car.
Did you know that the wide variety of colour and personal stitches in the Quattroporte allows you 4 million combinations.

Saw an Quattroporte yesterday, it looks absolutely superb, XJR is oldfashioned, so 4-porte :)

I'd have to go with the Maserati, for the reason that I just don't like Jags. Also, the fact that everyone that I know who has owned a Jag has ran into many problem (non-mechanical) with the car (i.e, the glove compartment latch broke, the trunk closes but the alignment with the body is completely off, etc...). And besides, as dul stated, a Maserati is a Maserati.
