The Mini Cooper has made its mark as a favorite “little” car and recently a favorite due to the high gas prices. This soft top convertible has the same attractive cues as does the regular coupe. Also available is a version with a retractable soft-top that glides back for a panoramic vista roof view.

You can consider both the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky the little sisters or brothers of the Chevy Corvette, a convertible version of course. The new power plants may consider these little roadsters “pocket rockets” with a new 260hp turbocharged 2.0 liter. With that version it may set you back about 30 grand. Saturn Sky Test Drive.

2009 JAGUAR XF Test Drive

Jaguar XF 

The all-new 2009 XF is a four-door Jaguar that fuses the style and performance of a coupe-bodied sports car, with the refinement, space and sophistication of a luxury sedan. The exterior styling is the first expression of Jaguar’s new sedan design language.

Resolutely true to the Jaguar philosophy of creating beautiful, fast cars, the XF goes further, adding a new dimension to the marquee. The four-door has the visual excitement of a coupe, but room inside for five adults to enjoy an interior that is contemporary in style, comfortable, yet uniquely Jaguar.

The XF enters in the niche long occupied by Jaguar’s S-Type. But unlike many midsize premium sedans, the new car pushes boundaries away from the ‘three box’ style and creates a four-door, five seat luxury sedan with strong coupe-like lines.

Remember the car company that is coming out with a $2500 car? Yes, the nano car from the company Tata. Well, Tata Motors will announce their purchase of Jaguar Land Rover March 5th or March 6th. This news comes about as car companies feel the crunch of the slowing economy and Ford setting their dates for the sale. Jaguar and Land Rover being owned and operated by Ford with several counterparts from other manufactures remains to be sold off to Tata Motors.

Quote from autonews.com:

Tata Motors will announce its purchase of Jaguar Land Rover on March 5 or 6.
The dates have been agreed between Tata and Ford, which is selling the two luxury brands, following talks with trade union leaders last week.
Roger Maddison, national officer of Unite, the largest union in the UK auto industry, told Automotive News Europe Tata had agreed to meet guarantees sought by workers’ leaders.
He said, ” Everything seems fine as far as we are concerned; it’s just the lawyers working on it now.”
Union leaders spoke with Ford and Tata to resolve final details before the drawing up of a memorandum of understanding for the sale.
In earlier talks with the two companies, unions had been seeking assurances that Tata would continue to source engines, stampings and other systems from Ford’s plants in Bridgend in Wales and Dagenham, near London.
All Jaguar and Land Rover engines come from Ford plants, as do many of Land Rover’s stampings.
