If Jaguar continue to make cars as ugly as this, how can they turn their current losses to profit making. Just looking at their new XJ, it makes me want to ...

Very front tip looks like a 3series. Rear looks like a citroen C6


Front has Evo X DNA


Backside from bentley grafted on?


taken from here...linky


C6


evoX

Is that the first Tata designed one? It actually doesn't look bad. Better looking for a poor man's Bentley than say, a Chrysler 300.

Dang... I gotta say their styling might be a little ripped off the bentley... But I don't really see the Evo at all I say this thing looks way better than the BMW F10! In fact... I like it!

I saw it on telly earlier,.. from the camera angle it did look a lot like an EvoX up front. Overall it was like a mix and match. Didn't gel well at all. Memories of this car came back..



hahaha

cheers

While it's not my style, but it doesn't look THAT bad.

It's a stunning piece of design - Callum has done exactly what he promised he'd do. It looks nothing like the legacy XJ, but at the same time the styling cues are appropriately reminiscent of the legacy XJ. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - but to mine, he's hit a home run. I'd also suspect that this is another design that looks better in the flesh than in photographs. Given the lazy restyle of the last generation XJ, this one had to be a game changer - and for Jaguar, I think it is. The old XJ performed much better than it looked. This one will check all the right boxes. I like it.
