After we’ve seen some spy shots and with only one week until official images and details of the car will be released, here is the latest shot, revealing the new Jaguar XF’s profile completely undisguised.

The new XF is a crucial model for the struggling British marque so its styling is very important, plus that it’s one of this year’s most anticipated car. The C-XF concept promised a lot but this new image shows a much more mundane car, especially its styling up front. Hopefully the new XF will look better once it’s seen in the ‘flesh’ at next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show

It looks like a Volvo S80 from this angle but it's not bad thing IMO

Looks far more bland than I'd been hoping it would.

i looks good.. but it wont stick out of the crowd.. and why else do you buy an expensive car ???

Looks too much like a Lexus GS for me. Too bad they don't have the balls to make something different. They certainly don't have much to lose in terms of sales volume at this point.

I agree with the GS comment until you get to the front 1/4 of the car...which looks like the soggy mass that came out of my asshole this morning.

Just wait for the R version. And at least the rear end looks like the DB9's?

rear 3/4: looks good
rest -/- nose: lexus
nose: maybe i have to get used to it, or see it in the flesh, but so far =>

interior looks promising though

Not as good as i hoped :x

HeilSvenska · 08-25-2007, 03:51 PM

I think it looks good. It looks new, which is good. And it doesn't look like a S-Type at all, which is even better.

They messed up, the concept looked way better, had the feline look to it and the whole package, this just doesn't look like anything special to me.

Not digging the bug eye look in the front w/ the protruding projector.

Although the Gear shifting selector is pretty damn cool.

not great but much better than the poor X-type and S-type

The thing is, modern concept cars inflate the anticipation of potential buyers so that companies can "gauge" how many of them they can sell in the future. The downside is that all the cars that were introduced like that are always disappointing. Alfa 8c Comp., Jag XF, LR Range Stormer... Some are fine, though, like Aston Martin DBS or Bugatti Veyron, only because they're hideously expensive.
