New Jag!

Let the debate begin:

I'll reserve final judgment until I see it in the flesh but I'm a bit disappointed. Take away the details and it looks almost Lexus-like. I supect Jag couldn't win whatever they did but at least more ham-fisted retro has been avoided.

I think the car looks far better than the s-type and hopefully will be able to compete with lexus,bmw and the like

I had a x-type before the zed and you would be very suprised!!

[Emperor Ming]

Lexus meets Toyota Corolla.

Ugh!!!!

Your right it does look like a new GS. Is that necessarily a bad thing though?

 

Still its not bad for Jaguar, they need something to go along side the XK model instead of the old school S-type, X-type stuff.

Seems that there is a need to be different which has taken away thetraditional sleek and balanced lines.

 

Then again, it could be worse;

First impression is yuk, but it may look a lot better in the flesh

[jonathan73]

I knew the pussies would **** about with the concept. The concept was GORGEOUS. It had a higher waist, no door handles, a meaner front and generally looked sweee.eeeeee.eeeeet.

 

This looks pooh.

[nixy]

For me it just doesn't have the look of a jaguar - it could be a Mondeo.

[Kev946]

Another case of lovely prototype, horrible production version. And it does look like a Lexus to me.

 

Horrible, let's hope it drives better than it looks, but suspect this is another nail in the coffin for Jaguar. We drove past Sturgess Jaguar on Sunday in Leicester and there wasn't one person in showroom mid day. Sturgess Land Rover on the other hand was very busy.

 

PS: I like yours better Tim

[rmmackfc]

First thought too....it's a Lexus

[stevie_350z]

I like it! Looks better than the GTR...

 

• 4.2 V8 petrol, supercharged, 416bhp, 413lb ft, 299g/km

 

But only out in US @ launch

[N1SM0350z]

yuk , not likeing those front lights

[Ian]

Looks ok, Interior looks awesome

 

Looks better than previous Jags, I've always wanted an XJ6 since I was about 5

[Stew]

The concept was stunning! his looks like a ..... forget lexus, it's more Hyundai!

 

 

In fact I think it is a rebaged Hyundai!

[Sarnie]

What a complete dung heap of a car

What a complete dung heap of a car

 

Your view counts -1

 

 

are you coming to the usual NW meet? Hope so! Avoid the speed camera this time!

[bronzee]

Drove my brothers XJRS today, not driven it for a while, very heavy, solid, and sits on the road the way a Grand Tourer should, and did I mention double 6, thobbing torque, absolutely beaufiful.

 

The new ones are nice, but they've slightly lost the Jag class and become a bit more generic. No offence, difference strokes for different folks. Now if you're talking Jag, then maybe XKR.

We had a display earlier this year at a very noteable car show, needless to say they had to drag me away from the XKR display, and then only to dragged away from the Bugatti.

[GC350z]

Never liked the old XKR and I think the current one arrived too late as the DB was already out there and established.

 

That new Jag is just another run of the mill car. Jag need to move forward but must design a car that people know and will call a Jag from the outset. I’d say the car spent too long in design and missed it’s moment or was styled in a hurray as they are under pressure to compete.

[M13KYF]

I can see VW passat in it. I applaud Jaguar for making a radical change. Just not sure that the grill blends very well.

[Beavis]

Looks like the Lexus GS300 to me.
