What a fucking ugly un-Jaguar looking Jaguar.

All Jag had to fall back on is their "past looks" - the company has nothing without it - in fact without its past heritage Jaguar is nothing.

One can only hope sales will fail and Jaguar will just close up shop for good - seriously, if this is the best they can come up with, why bother?

It looks like Volvo S80, Mazda 6, Mondeo, Lexus all mixed into one. Not good.

Obviously been filtered down by a committee.

I feel Ian Callum's pain. He probably hoped that they wouldn't touch his concept. But Ford, being Ford, just had to compromise it.

I really like it! Far nicer looking inside and out than any of the cars out nowadays, anyways. I am a bit disappointed they didn't go more with the original design, especially the headlights, but hey, you can't have it all. This is a HUGE leap for jag, and I think it will sell great.


Oh, and the next XJ is supposed to be far more daring than this.

^Yeah, it does have the lines of some of the Buick cars. Maybe not the Taurus...
