MAHWAH, NJ - Jaguar has a solution for those holiday gift givers. Just in time for the spirited holiday season, Jaguar Cars announces "Clothes for your Cat" - accessories for Jaguar owners.

Jaguar offers a wide variety of ways to clothe your cat during the cold winter months. There is a wide range of accessories available to all types of consumers - from the technologically savvy to the pure driving enthusiast.

For those who live an active lifestyle, cycle/mountain bike and ski holders are available for the XJ, XK and S-TYPE models. If buying for a water lover, the surfboard/kayak/sailboard holder for the S-TYPE can help in getting the equipment to its destination. Other accessories for dressing up a Jaguar include alloy and wooden gearknobs - some with and others without the Jaguar logo, hot climate and all weather car covers and washable cotton seat covers for the XK and S-TYPE.

New for the 2001 Jaguar lineup is the sleek Motorola Timeport™ digital phone - an integrated portable phone system for the Sprint PCS, AT&T and Verizon digital networks. Clever integration of the Timeport phone offers drivers the ability to safely make and receive hands-free calls through the steering wheel and radio controls. On the S-TYPE, for example, the optional voice-activated controls are initiated by the driver pressing a button on the steering wheel hub. This allows drivers to use simple verbal commands such as "dial Bob" to dial numbers, or to simply speak the number such as, "dial 1-888-555-2000." There are many accessories available for the Timeport phone that are sold separately, such as additional batteries, a desktop charger, a leather carrying case and more.

Another gift idea for the technologically savvy Jaguar owner is the Motorola Timeport™ Two Way Pager that is branded with the Jaguar logo. The Motorola Timeport Two Way Pager communicates wirelessly with pagers, Internet and e-mail (this is an add on feature purchased separately from a service provider). The pager offers full-featured personal information center applications that enables users to beam information to other Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) and Personal Information Managers (PIM), synchronize data with a number of popular desktop personal information centers and allows users to add applications that suit their individual needs. The pager is supplied with a beltclip/holder and features an illuminated, fully functional keyboard.

Jaguar also offers a range of accessories for those who may gear more towards the true driving experience. Jaguar owners can dress their cat in a range of "R" Performance options. The "R" Performance options offer Jaguar owners the opportunity to individualize their cars with premium-quality, sport-oriented wheels and brakes. The array of "R" Performance options includes the 20-inch "Paris" and "Detroit" wheels for the XK lineup; the 18-inch "Milan" wheel for the XJ and the XK cars; and the 18-inch "Monaco" wheel for the S-TYPE. Another performance option that will be available in the new year is the BBS modular wheel and Brembo brake package that includes a combination of either the "Milan", "Detroit" or "Paris" wheels with racing-developed Brembo brakes. The Brembo brakes feature four-piston aluminum calipers with the Jaguar logotype and massive cross-drilled and ventilated rotors.

Accessories noted in this news release are for the 2001 model year Jaguar vehicles. Most accessories are available for previous model year cars. For full details, consumers must contact their dealer.
