You know, I wondered about that myself as I typed it in, but I am not a
Jag aficionado. I concluded that between the auto columnist who wrote
the article and the Vice-President of Ford, one of those two would have
noticed the mistake, if there was one. Might an XJS have been some sort
of super-exotic variant of the time? If someone out there has a rock-solid
certainty that Ford's wrong, I could try pestering the Sun-Times about
it. The author of the article is Dan Jedlicka, who's supposed to be some-
thing of a sports car nut and who would presumably catch any nonsense
like that.
