The new XF is part two of Jaguar’s current three-pronged product offensive aimed at capturing sales from Ze Germans; first there was the compact XE sedan which we reviewed earlier, and early in 2016 will see the arrival of the F-Pace, Jaguar’s first SUV. Already the results are showing: in just three months since its launch in September, the XE has already accounted for 20% of total Jaguar sales in Singapore! This tripartite group is important for Jaguar also because it debuts a number of advanced technologies that will sustain the company’s products in the near future.

Anyway, back to the plot. The Evoque was treated with much respect (in 'Dynamic' mode, no less): late braking, hard flicks, flooring the accelerator when traffic permits, taking corners like a hot-hatch. In other words, I drove it like I just stole it, went to rob a bank and am racing towards the Malaysian border — except I am (a) no where as buffed as Channing Tatum nor (b) as bad-ass as Stallone. Every single day for half a week, I drove that way. Journey to the office has not been this fun and fast (sorry Range Rover, the M235i still blew my mind moaarr).

Because what we have here are an extensive list of cars, introduced in 2013 itself, that we feel will never go out of style; those that will remain on our roads even in the distant future all thanks to their stylish exterior that will never, well, get out of style. However, as this is Burnpavement and we take performance seriously, we have picked a total of nine (yes nine, your eyes aren’t playing any tricks) different cars that drives admirably well AND looks oh-so-beautiful. So let’s not delay any further and let us introduce to you: The Fashionable Cars of 2013. Meet (clockwise from left to right) the Peugeot RCZ, BMW 435i, Jaguar F-Type S V8, BMW M6 Gran Coupe, Maserati Quattroporte, Mercedes-Benz E250 Cabriolet, Volkswagen CC R-Line, Volkswagen Golf GTI Cabriolet and MINI Cooper S Paceman.

On the move, the Passat CC as with its Sport moniker and 'coupe' identity performs admirably. The turbo charged two litre four pot pulls off readily with excellent throttle response and is virtually lag free, even more so in Sport mode. And when the accelerator was floored hard, the addictive sound of wheel spin was heard in tandem with the gruff sounding engine snarl in protest of the rev needle's ascent, further highlighting the car's sporty potential even though the car is meant to be a smooth and refined drive.
