Noise, Vibration, and Harshness: Rise and Fall of Consumer Finance
Rise and Fall of Consumer Finance - US Economy and Loans- Automobile Magazine
Lease me to the moon: The rise and fall of consumer finance?

Maybe Adolf Hitler got it right. I don't mean the part about world domination, the master race, or all the illing and killing for which he's so justifiably reviled. I'm talking about consumer credit and the way the Third Reich got hard-working citizens to divert a little bit from their pay packet each week to purchase their very own Volkswagen. Theirs to use and enjoy, once they'd finished paying for it. In advance.

2008 Jaguar XJ Vanden Plas - Jaguar Luxury Sedan Review - Automobile Magazine
The aluminum construction of this car allows the 300 hp engine to feel adequate and the normal aspiration gives very linear power delivery.

I've heard a lot of people talk about how well this Jaguar has aged over the years, so I asked Marc to book one before this generation of the car became history. The appeal is very easy to understand as soon as you slide into a soft leather seat and notice the tasteful expanses of wood and leather used in the interior. Everything feels very old school luxury.
