Best New Luxury Car Under $75,000: 2009 Jaguar XF

We'll admit when we're wrong, so we hereby present a mea culpa: The 2009 Jaguar XF is the Best New Luxury Car Under $75,000. We were skeptical about the Jaguar XF when we first saw it in photos, and even when it arrived at our offices for evaluation, some of us still looked askance at it. Then we drove it, felt the power of the supercharged engine, the sharp responses of the finely tuned chassis, the quality of the materials inside and the pure pleasure of the overall package. The 2009 Jaguar XF simply won us over, and deserves its spot on our Editors Choice list.
