Jaguar X-Type

I drove it today, because I wanted to make sure the new battery was fully charged.  I had forgotten what a nice car it is!  Inferior to the XF in acceleration, cornering, interior quiet, stereo, and seat comfort, but still a very nice semi-luxury car.  Of course, inferior is only relative.  It will do 0-60 in about 8 seconds (which was sports car territory when I was young), and with studded tires, even my driveway doing its glacier-in-training thing is not a problem.
