JAGUAR SELECT EDITION AWARDED BEST CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED PROGRAM FOR THIRD TIME IN A ROW
 

IntelliChoice Inc. recently awarded Jaguar Select Edition the Best Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program in the luxury class segment at the California International Auto Show.  This year marks the third time Jaguar has received the top honor.  The Select Edition program was also named Best Warranty, as well as Best Inspection (tied with Volvo) in the luxury class.

"Winning this honor emphasizes Jaguar's commitment to its pre-owned customers," commented Chris Brown, remarketing manager for Aston Martin Jaguar Land Rover North America.  "We are proud to offer a best-in-class certified pre-owned program which remains consistent with the high standards we set for our new car customers." 

IntelliChoice compared eleven luxury pre-owned vehicle programs in the areas of warranty, inspection lists, roadside-assistance benefits and exchange/return provisions to determine which manufacturer offered the most benefit to certified pre-owned vehicle buyers.  A 141-item inspection list, as well as consumer preference data, was used to conduct the analysis.

The Select Edition Certified Pre-Owned Warranty provides vehicle coverage up to six years or 100,000 miles from the original purchase date as well as roadside assistance. To browse Bergen Jaguar's inventory of Select Edition vehicles just click here.

JAGUAR XKR FEATURED IN BOND FILM
"DIE ANOTHER DAY"


The Jaguar XKR makes a high-profile appearance in the new James Bond film Die Another Day – as the vehicle driven by the film's villain, Zao, played by Rick Yune. The looks and sporting character of the XKR made it an obvious choice for this action-packed movie – and the villainous Zao was quick to appreciate his choice of car.

But seductive styling alone doesn't give Bond's adversaries the edge over 007 they're looking for, which meant some serious modifications were needed. In addition to the obvious visual differences to a standard XKR, Zao's Jaguar bristles with an array of weaponry that includes a Gatling gun centered behind the driver and passenger seats, missiles that emerge from the front grille, concealed door-mounted rocket launchers and a rack of mortar bombs in the boot. The XKR also features a bulletproof screen to keep Bond's bullets at bay.

The Jaguar XKRs used in the film were built at Jaguar's HQ in Coventry, UK, and then worked on at Pinewood Studios, England, UK, by the special effects team to complete the conversion from sleek road-going sports car to menacing mean machine. In all, eight Jaguar XKRs were used in the filming of Die Another Day.


A television advertisement depicting the role of the Jaguar XKR in Die Another Day, which is to be released on November 22, will be aired from the beginning of November in the UK, United States, Germany and Australia. 

While Jaguar has no plans to produce Die Another Day XKRs for sale, the equally stunning standard model is available for sale. The Jaguar XKR Convertible is powered by a 4.2-liter, 400-horsepower AJ-V-8 engine. It accelerates from 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.
