Commenting about the winning car A.J. Baime, Playboy's editor said, "This is the Jaguar we've been waiting for - a beautiful car, a brilliantly-performing machine, nuanced and yet very true to Jaguar's DNA. In our many miles of testing on road and track, we had difficulty finding flaws. That's why it's our 2014 Car of the Year."
