  • 2013 Jaguar XF

    In coming years, every car company will make every vehicle it builds greener--meaning more fuel-efficient--courtesy of increasingly stringent gas mileage and carbon emissions rules around the world. That applies not only to smaller, simpler cars, but also large, heavy, fast, luxurious, and expensive ones too. Two days ago, we wrote about the new 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and its all-aluminum structure, which saves fully 700 pounds over the previous model. That requires less fuel to propel it through tony suburbs (and very occasionally up rocky mountain slopes). Now it's Jaguar's turn...
