Husky Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 here you go guys. if your not a convert have a look at this, hopefully you will be able to access it. http://www.thomson-webcast.net/uk/dispa ... guar090709 key things odriscoll said in my mind: Dual view screen in dash. screen in place of instrument cluster. 1200watt sound system!

H5 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I think it looks like it will take the game to ze Germans, just like the XF is giving them a kicking at the moment hopefully. Quote
IanS Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Front half is all good - the back just reminds me of a Citroen C6 or the 5 series GT - but like the XF, im hoping its going to grow on me when I see it in the metal. Jag knows how to do a proper luxury interior too. Quote
IanS Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I think it looks like it will take the game to ze Germans, just like the XF is giving them a kicking at the moment hopefully. +1 on that, 7 series, A8, S class all look very tame in comparison Quote
maz77 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 reminds me of the Maserati Qattroporte S for some reason. I dont like the front at all. Quote
ddmroadster350z Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 XF fantastic looking This XJ the front looks like a "Dodge Avenger" YUK Quote
LRF4N Posted July 11, 2009 Author Posted July 11, 2009 before these pics came out i saw an artists impression of wot it could look like and it was gorgeous, i really do hope the real thing proves me wrong lol. my dad used to have a couple of xj6s and u gotta love the comfort and luxury jags are known for. the xf was a breath of fresh air (much needed imo) and is perfect inside and out, like said earlier its taken the crown from the 5series and e-class. was really lookin fwd to seein their modern version of the flagship xj but not a fan...yet. i think it would go down well in america where they love their funky lookin limos and are fond of the "jagoo-aar" badge. gives me an excuse to drive by the jag showroom lol Quote
ddmroadster350z Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 God forbid if they think that would go down well in America. Look at the state of the Subaru Impreza, it drives fantastic but looks terrible & that current car was designed initially for the American market. Lets hope they see the error & do something quick to change it. Quote
Chesterfield Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 I thought the rear of the xj looked a bit "American". It is certainly in line with the cadilac / oldsmobile styles that seem to do well over there. The seats in the xf and presumably the xj too, are clearly designed with the average steak eaters posteria in mind, I don't mind admitting I find them quite comfy Quote
Digsy Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default ... ryId=20261 Pics and vids Quote
Stew Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=20261 Pics and vids Watched that yesterday and it looks much better in the 'real world' pics. Even the back! Quote
LRF4N Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 agree with u stew and husky, after seein better pics its startin to grow on me already, even the back lol. i used to think the coupe like profile wouldnt suit it but it actually does Quote
Stew Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 It's weird how lower quality, less arty pics makes it look better...... Quote
Ekona Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Passed one of these on the A12 yesterday on my way back from Thetford, and I have to say that Jaguar have absolutely nailed it in the flesh. Very imposing but not overly so, and the rear does work very well when you see it on the move. It may not stay a classic design, but for now it definitely livens up the road. Quote
