From the Archive: The return of the pop-top cat.
As a halfway step toward true open-air motoring, the XJ-SC Cabriolet proves two things: First, major amounts of sunshine can be admitted to the interior of the XJ without sacrificing any of the car's basic goodness. And second, although the XJ-SC is a noble and carefully engineered alternative to a steel-roofed coupe, it's no substitute at all for a true convertible.I'm afraid there's nothing but disappointment in the new XJ-SC for a thrill seeker like myself.
Then there's the mighty V-12, which feels all bottled up at the low end. It's needed a good four-speed automatic to set it free for ages. When I slide into a low-slung, broad-shouldered V-12 sports car, I expect a kick in the pants. The XJ-SC may be fine for wealthy people twenty years my senior, but it's far too much of a gentleman for me. —It's hard to rationalize a car like the Jaguar XJ-SC. For far less money, there are any number of cars that perform as well as or better than this machine. Few, however, can match the Jag's individuality and panache.
