Or virtual paper, if you’re on the Internet. J.D.’s latest APEAL (Get it? They’re punning on the word “appeal,”
which means the ability to attract or stimulate the mind or emotions!) study judges entire manufacturers by their
attention to Automotive Performance, Execution, And Layout. Since when does “And” get a letter in an acronym? Lexus is
still the nameplate everyone wants, followed by (in order) Porsche, Cadillac, BMW, Jaguar, and Infiniti, and it just
goes on from there. Jaguar’s high placing is mainly due to its redesigned XJ Series, and the accolade should serve as a
beacon in the fog of problems that has surrounded big cat lately.
