Jaguar's "Floating Roof" Brought Back Down to Earth

    In recent months I am sure you have all heard about the new Jaguar XJ. Everything about the car has been redesigned; it's lighter, faster, and stronger than ever. The interior resembles the galley of a yacht, and the engine can only be attributed to English madness.
    Therefore, the new XJ is an amazing achievement, but only when you purchase it in all black. When you buy it in black you might have a hard time noticing the hideously tacky "floating roof."
    Its a good idea, this floating roof design, but in my opinion Jaguar could have done a much better job. There are several chrome bits, window borders, and empty lines that really seem to muddle up the clean, floating roof line idea.
   Solution: Color the roof black, from the window sill up. The XJ's lines are near perfect, so if the roof is painted black then the top will appear fully separated from the body, thus creating a very powerful jungle cat. Don't you agree?

Note: If you buy it in black, you wont be able to tell the legend of the mysterious "floating roof."
