Neither are to my liking, but if I had to choose, I would probably have gone with the Jag.

great pictures all Tony 😎 ...it is the Mercedes I would choose.......either car would redefine the whole "stuck in traffic" concept to include stuck in the car in driveways and misc parking lots and just generally stuck in the driver`s seat

Thank you my friend, and, 'stuck in traffic' - I hear THAT!!  That's why, around here, a drive in the country is so much more pleasant; dang little traffic from them city slickers! HA!

ADORABLE! Is that a Borzoi? Great dogs! Of all our dogs, our Ibizan Hound, Azurro Arum, was our favorite. In the same grouping as the Borzoi. Great photo pick john!!

HA! No, the dog was one of a litter of 4 born at the Five Alarm Kennels in Texas. (They raise champion Dalmatians.) They dabbled, for a short while, in the Ibizan hound breed and they named each one of them. The one we picked, adopted and were scrutinized prior to ownership of, was the largest of the males. He was known to us simply as Zaro.

The Jag is for me; beautiful sports car.  Merc is beautiful too but access is a pain and the green house effect was apparently a bit much.

John; we DID name our next dog, after Zaro passed. He was the largest male of the available litter of Great Danes. We named him for one of our favorite places that we visited and spent some time at - The Tivoli Gardens; Copenhagen, Denmark. His registered name was Baron Von Tivoli  -  Baron!

EXCELLENT thought process Jack. As a senior citizen, I can fully appreciate the obvious entry and egress aspect of the car!

They are both very impressive cars and models. I don't know much about either of them as a driving car, and for me, neither would be my 1st choice but I think the open-air feeling of the Jaguar would be a lot more fun.

          as a child growing up on the mean streets of Toledo, we got dogs that were swayed by my Mom`s strategically set out leftovers......by the time we got to keep them,they`d already been named on multiple occasions

          I DO hope your eventual/inevitable movie is worked up as an "Independent" production,and not relegated to the "Lifetime" bleach/rinse/repeat effect.....your storybook escapades have cost me nearly $200.00 in exotic cheese deliveries in the last month alone, which kinda makes me a 3rd level producer
