“Jaguar sales continue
to remain strong,” said Mike O’Driscoll, president of Jaguar North
America. “We look forward to continuing our growth as we debut our 2001
product line, including the new XKR Silverstone.”
The Jaguar fact of the month
includes two tidbits on Jaguar’s integrated Global Positioning Satellite
(GPS) navigation system: XK Series sports car buyers request the optional navigation
system more than S-TYPE and XJ Series buyers, and more navigation systems are
sold in the southeast region than any other region in the United States.
