Very interesting car - finally no more retro design. Look at the interior shots. After slagging the I-Drive Jaguar does an I-Drive'ish gear selector.

Its' not until the last picture (on the road) that you see that this one looks like a jelly bean - almost old Taurus like. :thumbsdown:

That cockpit looks as though it could get very confusing as well

Nothing there for me, still.

Those front lights... I'm now thinking Subaru Legacy. Wouldn't those lights look so much better without that raised eyebrow part?

Still - that design is a big step for Jag and should appeal to the younger demographic more than the retro cars.

dame you beat me at it, I was downloading all 23 pics.
I only like 30% of the car the backend, all the rest is a bit naff.
The boot is too small
The back door intee looks naff
The front grill with bage is way too big
The front lights are like a Kia design, better if it was like the C-XF Concept lights
I like the Jaguar C-XF Concept much better

Jaguar XF new saloon will start at ?33,900 in the U.K or $68,267 USD
thats about same price as a 5er
4.2L AJ V8 with 300 hp will be ?44,500, or $89,614 USD.
The top of the range SV8 model with the supercharged 4.2L V8 with 420 hp will start at ?54,900, or $110,557 USD. will this beat the new M3 NO WAY

here are some more pics

The thing looks like it can't decide what it wants to be when it grows up. Quattroporte ... errmmm ... Aston ... errm .. Subaru ... ermm... Lexus ... errm ...

There's even a hint of the outgoing Mondeo in some of those pics.

While it's nice to see Jaguar try to get away from that retro styling, they seem to have regressed rather than progressed in terms of setting the new Jag-look.
