That is the on sale date as far as I know. Probably plenty running around as Jaguar are currently in a position where there will be almost no impact on current range sales due to the imminent introduction of the F-Pace so doesn't matter how widely seen it is - that will just encourage sales of it later.

I could be remembering incorrectly, but wasn't it said (at some time during the last months) that there would be no XE estate?

Instead... Aren't Jaguar now focusing on a CUV / SUV estate thing?

Really? And no 2-door variants? That'd be commercial suicide if they want to compete with the Germans...

Jag have always had a tiny fraction of the german range. Some would say they don't play silly games with models and would be better for it. Other would point out they don't have the sales success.

4wd is essential in the snow and it means you don't need winter tyres. RWD cars are undriveable in the wet anyway so 4wd all the way! 4wd FTW. Plus, it's diesel, brilliant !

Hope I'm not in front of you in my RWD car with winter tyres on a snowy road and I stop for something





Presuming (hoping?) you are being sarcastic by the way!

Well presumed !
