Jaguar Announces Clothes for Your Cat

6 December 2000

Jaguar Announces Clothes for Your Cat - Accessories for Your XJ, S-Type and XK
    MAHWAH, N.J., Dec. 6 Jaguar has a solution for those
holiday gift givers.  Just in time for the spirited holiday season, Jaguar
Cars announces "Clothes for your Cat" -- accessories for Jaguar owners.
    Jaguar offers a wide variety of ways to clothe your cat during the cold
winter months.  There is a wide range of accessories available to all types of
consumers -- from the technologically savvy to the pure driving enthusiast.
    For those who live an active lifestyle, cycle/mountain bike and ski
holders are available for the XJ, XK and S-TYPE models.  If buying for a water
lover, the surfboard/kayak/sailboard holder for the S-TYPE can help in getting
the equipment to its destination.  Other accessories for dressing up a Jaguar
include alloy and wooden gearknobs -- some with and others without the Jaguar
logo, hot climate and all weather car covers and washable cotton seat covers
for the XK and S-TYPE.
    New for the 2001 Jaguar lineup is the sleek Motorola Timeport(TM) digital
phone -- an integrated portable phone system for the Sprint PCS, AT&T and
Verizon digital networks.  Clever integration of the Timeport phone offers
drivers the ability to safely make and receive hands-free calls through the
steering wheel and radio controls.  On the S-TYPE, for example, the optional
voice-activated controls are initiated by the driver pressing a button on the
steering wheel hub.  This allows drivers to use simple verbal commands such as
"dial Bob" to dial numbers, or to simply speak the number such as, "dial
1-888-555-2000."  There are many accessories available for the Timeport phone
that are sold separately, such as additional batteries, a desktop charger, a
leather carrying case and more.
    Another gift idea for the technologically savvy Jaguar owner is the
Motorola Timeport(TM) Two Way Pager that is branded with the Jaguar logo.  The
Motorola Timeport Two Way Pager communicates wirelessly with pagers, Internet
and e-mail (this is an add on feature purchased separately from a service
provider).  The pager offers full-featured personal information center
applications that enables users to beam information to other Personal Digital
Assistants (PDA) and Personal Information Managers (PIM), synchronize data
with a number of popular desktop personal information centers and allows users
to add applications that suit their individual needs.  The pager is supplied
with a beltclip/holder and features an illuminated, fully functional keyboard.
    Jaguar also offers a range of accessories for those who may gear more
towards the true driving experience.  Jaguar owners can dress their cat in a
range of "R" Performance options.  The "R" Performance options offer Jaguar
owners the opportunity to individualize their cars with premium-quality,
sport-oriented wheels and brakes.  The array of "R" Performance options
includes the 20-inch "Paris" and "Detroit" wheels for the XK lineup; the
18-inch "Milan" wheel for the XJ and the XK cars; and the 18-inch "Monaco"
wheel for the S-TYPE.  Another performance option that will be available in
the new year is the BBS modular wheel and Brembo brake package that includes a
combination of either the "Milan," "Detroit" or "Paris" wheels with
racing-developed Brembo brakes.  The Brembo brakes feature four-piston
aluminum calipers with the Jaguar logotype and massive cross-drilled and
ventilated rotors.
