One of the car rags has a couple of pages this week
on the new XJ8.

Good news is

1. It's built from Aluminium - saving a few hundred
kg from the 1700 kg of the old model.

2. The folks that designed the interior of the X-type
& S-type don't seem to have been involved in the new XJ8.
Interior cosmetics seem not much changed.

3. Boot capacity up a bit.

4. They will be offering a version with a smaller engine.
V6 I think. No point buying the V8 version in the UK.

Bad news is

1. A big car just got bigger - length up from 5.02 m
to 5.18 m That's 17 feet long in old money.
