Default New Jaguar XF
Though you guys might be interested. Looks really good. Ford should probably hold on to Jag, if this is any indication of future products.

Well looking at that ..imo they've lost it.

Its gone from sleek to bulk...not what the cat is the cat is sleek..not bulk.

looks very nice, very classy. A good send off of Jag from Ford i think. Rumours have it the Tata group in India are also looking at purchasing Jag and Land rover.

I wouldn't be able to judge this before looking at the car as a whole, but it's certainly lost quite a fair bit of "edge" from the concept design - it just looks like a "normal" car now.

At any rate, it's probably going appeal to a broader audience than the current S-type anyway, so I guess Jag is on their way up!

Looks pretty hot to me. And AFAIK Aston is gone so why not use those lights, their sexy as. Talk of Jag and LR going to India is worrying.

imo this is exactly what a four door aston martin would like, how is it that these so called spy shots are so clear, their not hiding it very well.
possible publicity stunt by jag if you ask me.

You wonder about some people, complaining that the rear lights look to much like Aston Martin, considered to be the company producing the best looking cars in the world at the moment. Go figure.

Words cant describe the Jaguar XF. To call it stunning simply doesnt do it justice!

Can't make a judgement on that, but I'm not surprised the roof has been raised over the concept car - you actually have to fit real live humans in it after all

The interesting thing about it all is that more gay people drive the Falcon Ute, but lets not let the facts get in the way!

The XF looks quite good, hopefully it puts in a good effort for Jag as they need it.

Looks hot. Looks like Jaguar Nth America had the spy shots removed from the first link.
