The Sovereign trim level was used by Jaguar Cars on the XJ40, X300, X308 and X350 XJs. Called Vanden Plas in the United States and Canada, a Sovereign was a step above an XJ6 or XJ8 but below the big daddy Daimler. (not sold in the US because of Mercedes' bitch ass)
Yes, some may say a Jaguar Sovereign is an old man's car, but they are badass and distinctive. With supple leather, more wood than the Amazon Rainforest, an Alpine sound system (X350) and dainty chrome flourishes, the Sovereign is the British take on the S-class or LS. It may not be reliable like its Japanese or German cousins, but it certainly makes up for it by dripping with class. Jaguars are such elegant cars and it is a shame that they aren't appreciated as much as they should be.
William drives a Range Rover and a Jaguar Sovereign. The Jag was badged as a Vanden Plas but William is a man of taste so he swapped out the badges to read Sovereign.
