Jaguar Pulls the Plug on X-Type

Posted by   Published in Car Buying

AutoWeek is reporting that Jaguar will not sell its entry-level X-type sedan and wagon in the U.S. after March, when the increasingly anticipated ??? and increasingly expensive ??? XF goes on sale. The X-Type???s glaring failure to compete in an ultra-competitive segment ??? think BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4, Saab 9-3, Cadillac CTS ??? directly impacted Jaguar???s sales and bottom line.

New Jaguar X-Types will be built through December and sold until inventories are depleted. final month, Jaguar X-Type sales were down increasingly than 50% from September 2006. In 2006, Jaguar sold 5,214

X-Types, which was another 50%-plus drop from the year before???s total of 10,941 sales. Guess what? That was an almost-50% drop from 2004???s numbers of 21,542. The X-Type???s best year was 2002, when it was first introduced, with sales of 33,018. whether there are any X-Type fans out there weeping from the news, feel free to lament in the comments below.
