"Jaguar and Land Rover, by anyone’s measure, are the least reliable vehicles in the USA, year after year."

Not true, but instead of telling you you're stuck in the eighties, I'll just say that I am sad to report that although it may not be true on all models or in the most recent years, Jaguar (I am speaking of the mid-late 90s and 00s) actually surpassed Mercedes' vaunted S Class line in many reliability factors including if I remember correctly the vaunted J D Powers.

But I understand. It's better, and easier, really, for some people to just believe what they want to believe about Jaguars. To me, they're quite possibly the most perfect cars in the world. (pre-1999 or thereabouts.)

10 yr old Jags have STUNNINGLY low resale value.
(Personally I think a lot of them are beautiful cars).

I’ve been told the reliability is so poor and the repair costs so high that they just don’t sell.

...another aspect of the JD Power survey that never changes: Land Rover’s position. You see, for the umpteenth year running, Land Rover displayed its unending commitment to quality by finishing dead last.
