Digsy Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Let the debate begin: http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/first_offi ... 963&page=1 I'll reserve final judgment until I see it in the flesh but I'm a bit disappointed. Take away the details and it looks almost Lexus-like. I supect Jag couldn't win whatever they did but at least more ham-fisted retro has been avoided.

Is that necessarily a bad thing though? Still its not bad for Jaguar, they need something to go along side the XK model instead of the old school S-type, X-type stuff.

martinmac Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Seems that there is a need to be different which has taken away thetraditional sleek and balanced lines. Then again, it could be worse; http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/secret_new ... 972&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan73 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I knew the pussies would **** about with the concept. The concept was GORGEOUS. It had a higher waist, no door handles, a meaner front and generally looked sweee.eeeeee.eeeeet. This looks pooh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 For me it just doesn't have the look of a jaguar - it could be a Mondeo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev946 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Another case of lovely prototype, horrible production version. And it does look like a Lexus to me. Horrible, let's hope it drives better than it looks, but suspect this is another nail in the coffin for Jaguar. We drove past Sturgess Jaguar on Sunday in Leicester and there wasn't one person in showroom mid day. Sturgess Land Rover on the other hand was very busy.

bronzee Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Drove my brothers XJRS today, not driven it for a while, very heavy, solid, and sits on the road the way a Grand Tourer should, and did I mention double 6, thobbing torque, absolutely beaufiful. The new ones are nice, but they've slightly lost the Jag class and become a bit more generic. No offence, difference strokes for different folks. Now if you're talking Jag, then maybe XKR. http://www.jaguar.co.nz/nz/en/xk/galler ... graphy.htm We had a display earlier this year at a very noteable car show, needless to say they had to drag me away from the XKR display, and then only to dragged away from the Bugatti.

GC350z Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Never liked the old XKR and I think the current one arrived too late as the DB was already out there and established. That new Jag is just another run of the mill car. Jag need to move forward but must design a car that people know and will call a Jag from the outset. I’d say the car spent too long in design and missed it’s moment or was styled in a hurray as they are under pressure to compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I can see VW passat in it. I applaud Jaguar for making a radical change. Just not sure that the grill blends very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Looks like the Lexus GS300 to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
