The Jag may share a platform with a Ford Tauras, but what does the common man know about that besides he sees it less often than a BMW 3 series?
same with the C class.
If you are talking about an enthusiasts point of view though, Benz and BMW are tied for pretige with Jag and Audi following.

5 years ago the cheapest jag was $80k. now you can get an x-type (aka the ford contour) for less than half of that.

I think depende kung saang bansa. Sa UK mas prestigious ang dating ng Jaguar kung image ang pag-uusapan. Napaka-common ng mga Mercs and BMs. Almost matatanda kasi ang mga naka Jaguar.

don't get me wrong guys, i'm not putting down VW (i'm a former VW owner myself - '99 Jetta VR6, which i gave to my brother, who took over the payments). i'm simply saying that in europe and north america, it's one of the most recognized brands for economy and reliability - but not prestige. perhaps it's different in the philippines. our Jetta was a wonderful car, but it competed against the Camry, Accord and Galant...not the 3-series or C-class.
even the name means "people's car" in german...
