Unintentional Exotics: Jaguar X-type Wagon and Lexus IS300 SportCross
Occasionally, mundane cars sell in such small numbers that they become de facto “exotics.” These two wagons are rarer than Bentley’s $189,095 Continental GT.*
Being slightly more attractive than the X-type sedan didn’t help its sales.
Years sold: 2005–2008

Odd hatchback-like styling on a sports sedan was not a recipe for U.S. success.
Years sold: 2002–2005
Units sold in U.S.: 3088
A 552-hp “intentional exotic” that easily outsells both wagons.
