Again you miss my point.
Just because the XJ220 was a poor handling car,
it goes 220 mph in stock trim. Bitch about it's handling all you want, it did exactly what it was designed to do. My example of the SR-71 still holds true. Would you call that thing the worst plane because it couldn't out manuver an F-16?
If you want to pick on a Jag, pick on the XJ12 like I did... that car was a heap, and it was specifically designed to be a high-class luxury coupe... it was exactly what is was designed *not* to be!
I'm just trying to follow the spirit of the rules: pick the worst car from each marque. If a car's got one or two amazing qualities, I find it very hard to consider it "the worst". To me, the worst car is the car that does nothing good, even if it doesn't fail miserably in any particular category.
