    Or maybe on this side of the pond it would be called an XKEV. Jaguar has created a successor to the famed E Type, aka XKE, that uses Formula 1's KERS, or Kinetic Energy Recovery System. That's a pretty fancy name for 'hybrid', but then, it is a Jaguar. The CX16 prototype is set to be revealed next week at the Frankfurt Auto Show.

    My uncle, an old-time big spender, bought my cousin a Jaguar XKE. She hated it: It was in the shop for repairs as much as it was on the road. Who would buy a car that is so unreliable???

    Our UPS guy down in FL had 2. One for the shop and one to drive and he would literally trade them out every couple weeks.
