I actually like the XJ. And they are far from look-alikes. Jags have some technological innovations that not many others have tried, like inboard rear brake calipers to reduce the unsprung weight & improve handling.
Now, their choice of suppliers & quality control (or lack there of) is another matter. But by the 90's, Ford had owned them long enough to make a difference. Actually, Jags from 87 on are decent machines.

My usual Jag sighting is a '90s XJ (the kind with the square headlights and imitation-W124 single wiper... what a styling abomination!) driven by a mean-looking old lady swaddled in pearls and pelts. I guess they're pretty skinny too.
