Because my current one has 188,000 miles and the transmission is going. It makes more sense to finally upgrade. I'm just cheap and somewhat lazy when it comes to big purchases.

Then why do you want such a cool ride if you are cheap? These are not cheap ones bro. Or you need it for your ego?
If you feel better in a cool car, then it's ok. I'm like this too
I want something nice, enjoyable, sporty, and I won't hate driving around for the next 100,000 miles. I've never owned a newer car. My first car was a 1975 Buick that was a tank. The interior finishes on the brands I listed are typically much nicer, I honestly don't care about status symbol.
Jags tend to be pretty high-maintenance, and a Supercharged one is going to be even worse in that dept. the BMW is probably your best blend of good looks, performance, and wont' be in the shop every 2 months.
The jag definitely has style.
If you are cheap, future repair bills may kill the fun however.

BMWs handle better than any other car I've driven. I'd have to go with that.
Why doesn't Acura get any love on this forum?
the new tl is a miss in the styling dept.
mercs are reliable and all that, but a merc just adds 10 years to your age, and should be reserved until you're 40 or something.
Audi is the best option for a nice reliable german car that looks cool. If you're not fond of Audi, then maybe a BMW would be decent.

Jags are only good for as long as their preferred customer warranty. I haven't had a Jag in 10 years but back then, when it would break, you drive in, hand it to the shop, and drive out with a Jag loaner. I would never buy a Jag without this..... unless you buy 2 and simply swap which one is in the shop at any given time.

I would consider a lexus ls460, much nicer car than the ones you've posted. Much more reliable.
535 is already a old body style. The new one is nice though.

If you get BMW, ensure its under warranty and stuff. N54 (twin-turbo) and N55 (single twin-scroll turbo) engines are known for fuel pump failures. BMW hasnt been able to fix the problem since 2007. Some people go through a fuel pump every couple oil changes... On the plus side a simple chip will increase your power to around 400hp.... These engines are beasts, just suffer from that stupid high pressure fuel pump problem.
