TO THE POINT What’s New? The Portfolio is new for 2006 and is the most luxurious of all the Jaguar XJ models.
Selling Points: Just as exhilarating as the 400-horsepower Super V8, but with even more coddling.
Deal Breakers: Despite a few added features, it’s hard to justify the $24,000 premium over the XJ Super V8.
Our Advice: Unless you must have the Black Cherry paint and extra touches found on the Portfolio, go with the XJ Super V8 and save the extra $24,000.
