Not a huge amount of info yet but I have to say that does look good.

Looks like a mini XF, which is a good thing, based on a stretched f type I think, so no Mondeo jokes from clarkson this time

Yep, also bodes well for the new XF due in 2016, keep the look just freshen it up with some sharper lines. My cheque book is already out for the new XF!

Nope. Completely new platform.

Correct wheel drive this time too. Looks promising.

Estate please (and not several years after launch of the saloon like happened with the XF).

Yes, and made from aluminium, it will also underpin the SUV.

Well one thing is for sure. The German's are going to lose sales of the 3,A4 & C to this one. It makes them all look a tad hum-drum.

Stunning.

Looks like an ever-decreasing gap towards Audi styling.
Maybe that is the way the market wants it but I think it is sad that the cars are becoming German clones.

The only upside is that at least it means people who do buy German can now buy British made cars.

Looks way better, and more distinctive than anything German IMO.

Yup. Will be nice to see something eat into German sales for once.

Which, if it proves to be anything like as popular as the XF, it will put a sizable dent in German sales. Long may it continue!

Incidentally, I saw somebody took the press photo, ran it through enhance on his iPhone and it produced a lot more detail, good looking car.

Coupe please......and with that dirty sounding supercharged V6 please.....but won't mind if it's not out for a couple of years yet, as it will be that at least before I'll be replacing the BMW 135.
