GC350z Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I know a lot are going to disagree with me on this. Don't get me wrong, it is a nice car and the pic below from the Detroit show really doesn't give it justice but..... ....when I look at it all I see is the styling of the Skyline GTR. So I picked up a copy of the current Top Gear mag which has a number of pics of the Jag in it and now I cant get it out of my head. But in my head its all GTR which makes me want the GTR even more. Can anyone else see this or have I lost it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 jaguar have done this so many times in the past by releasing lovely looking prototypes, only for them never to appear. believe it when I see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 The problem I can see it having is that does not look like a jaguar. So if it does not look like a jag its going to have to perform VERY VERY well as its competing with the likes of the new Nissan GTR or whatever it will be called - the R8 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC350z Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 The thing is saloon car sized so I'd expect it to compete more with merc coupes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyC Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 From my mate at Jag (before this was posted): "the new s-type is out at the end of the year its codenamed cf, this car really is amazing and the design makes it stand out from anything near. It will win all the car mag tests and probably get car of the year." Looks like this might be the one he's on about, if it is and its out at the end of the year it must be looking like this????

rmmackfc Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 that looks good ....but then again no doubt it'll never be seen as a production car and if it is it won't look half as good. But hey, theres always hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Apparently its substanially the S-Type replacement Andy's mate referred to. However, the rakish roofline will be heightened for production to allow for some headroom. It will compete with the 5-series and E-class not coupe's or GTR's but should be pretty good as the S-Type goes well just looks sh1t. I like the styling and it's about time we had a non-retro Jag.
