I also think they are unfeasably wide.
Book figure is 24mm wider than the last model of XJ, which is itself a very wide car , and within a couple of mm of a first gen Porsche Cayenne.I know it's de rigeur to whine about the size and weight of cars now but that's wide enough to make the car feel unwieldy on, ironically, the best sorts of roads for enjoying a sports car in the UK.

Have you driven one? They don’t feel wide, even though I admit they are. I know it's de rigeur to whine about the size and weight of cars now but that's wide enough to make the car feel unwieldy on, ironically, the best sorts of roads for enjoying a sports car in the UK.
Yes. I agree they don’t feel unwieldy but you can’t change the laws of physics and when you’re on a narrow road or lane with a van or bigger coming the other way it’s handy for your car not to be wider that a limo.
Lots of people have no real judgement of the width of their car and where it can fit anyway though!!
