The smaller, older by one year, and less pricey ($54,075) Jag XF fared nearly as poorly as its higher-priced counterpart. Blame it on dismal reliability and mediocre road test scores, although the XF is slightly more economical to operate at a cost per mile of $1.18. India's Tata owns Jaguar now, and clearly it has plenty of work ahead of it. Customers have become wary. Despite a strong market for luxury cars in 2011, Jag sales fell 8% last year.
