There are cars that announce who their driver is before she even steps out the doorway. The 2008 Jaguar XJ Super V8 is one of those cars. You know which one I’m talking about; it’s the model you see in your mind when you think of a Jag, and it’s beautiful.

However, due to the Jaguar’s reputation and presence, you should probably splurge on a strand of pearls to wear while in your Jaguar. I just didn’t feel right if I wasn’t wearing a cardigan while driving it. If you’ve ever wanted to be Charlotte York Goldenblatt from “Sex and the City,” you and the XJ Super V8 will be so happy together.

But will your family be happy with it? Read on, my friends, because Charlotte’s dream car might just be yours, too.
