Jaguar has had received a lot of negative criticism over the years. Probably the horrible styling of recent models. Probably its the performance that can be put to shame by some other entry-level car. And those are some of the things that their XF line is trying to do.

The 2009 Jaguar XF Supercharged is powered by a supercharged 4.2 liter V8 engine producing 420 hp with a max pull of 408 lb-ft mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with Jaguar’s Sequential Shift accessible via flappy paddle shifters. 0-60 is achieved in a little over 5 seconds. Edmunds got a piece of some Jaguar XF action and they’re glad to show us some of the good stuff.
