Car and Driver has published a new road test of a 1976 Jaguar XJ-S, evaluating the grand tourer on its own terms as a driving machine rather than as a sale or a valuation. The test keeps to the fundamentals of the model year: marque, chassis, and how the car behaves once it's moving. It is Car and Driver's assessment, not ours, and the piece stands as a straightforward look at a Jaguar coupe from the middle of the 1970s.
