Default No, its not a Jaguar!!

Only had our ZT and for 4 days and have already had people comment "its a Jaguar, isn't it". I find this rather amusing, does anyone else find it amusing or does it get tiresome?

I was polishing mine today, and one of my neighbors said "your car really raises the tone of the car-park!"

Only had it the once, had to tell the guy that it was better looking than any Jag saloon but he thought they looked the same to him.

All I ever seem to get is "mmm......mmm...it's definately growing on me" and "it does look well doesn't it"
I usually catch some of the lads at work smoking outside just looking at it. That I like.
