Jaguar XF Black Pack

Jaguars may be known for their elegant use of chrome trim, but for those looking for something a little more low-key, the British automaker has just announced the availability of a new Black Pack for its XF sedan family.

Replacing the chrome around the windows and grille with glossy black trim and the conventional silver wheels with dark gray alloys, the Black Pack is available on the full range of XF and XFR models. It follows the success of a similar package which far exceeded their sales expectations on the XKR sportscar.

Homophobic Remarks Force End of Jaguar Sponsorship for Australian Swimmer

Controversy has reared its ugly head Down Under as Jaguar has terminated its sponsorship deal with an Olympic gold-medalist over disparaging remarks made online. The athlete in question, Stephanie Rice, reportedly derided rival South African rugby team the Springboks as "faggots" after their defeat at the hands of the Australian Wallabies, one of whose players she is reportedly romantically involved with.

The remarks were made via popular social media portal Twitter, and were followed by a tearful apology made at a televised press conference. Jaguar Australia, however, evidently felt the triple-gold-medal-winning swimmer was no longer suitable to represent their brand, ending their relationship and forcing Rice to return the Jaguar XF sedan she'd been driving since earlier this year.

Jaguar Makes Music, Art and Friends at the Hollywood Bowl

If you want a look at the new Jaguar XJ and you'd like a little night music to go with it, you should know that Jaguar has leaped into the Hollywood Bowl with a three-year sponsorship of Platinum Series Concerts. An eight-concert run begins this month and runs through September, starting with opening night on June 18 that will feature Bowl Hall of Fame inductees Donna Summer, Richard Carpenter and Jean-Yves Thibaudet.

On the other hand, if it's just the XJ you really want, the new sedan will be on permanent display at the VIP valet entrance and an ride-and-drive event for the entire Jaguar line held on a non-concert day. Put your baksheesh in the right hands and you might even get invited to one of the Jaguar receptions.

Other concerts in the series will include classical violinist Joshua Bell with the LA Philharmonic, Hollywood Bowl conductor Gustavo Dudamel conducting Carmen, Harry Connick, Jr. and his Big Band, Herbie Hancock celebrating his 70th birthday, and Pink Martini letting you know what they je ne veut pas. Or you can skip all of that hanging around with the genpop, go get yourself a Jaguar and its Bowers & Wilkins audio system and play any music you want with studio-level high-fidelity. Decisions, decisions...
