While we were spared most of its rage, the countryside outside Paris was a soggy debris-laden mess &#8211; not exactly optimal conditions to test the latest flagship sedan from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/jaguar\/\">Jaguar<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Soldiering forth &#8211; and more intrigued than ever with the all-new saloon &#8211; we ignored the rain and spent a long day trekking around the drenched landscape with both the short- and long-wheelbase models.
