Car manufacturers haven't named cars within reason for years now. It's not anything new and honestly, it's only useful for us car folks.
The BMW 3 Series is not the benchmark for sports saloons anymore. The new benchmark is the Jaguar XE.

XE must be really good - even the German reviewers are admitting that XE has much better driving dynamics than 3-series or C-class.
Now bring on Giulia!
