what does the target market think of the car over there? how has it gone down? how does the price compare with its rivals . sorry for all the questions but this car needs to do well in all its intended markets

As much as I want to like it, and hope Jaguar is successful, it does look to me, well, Korean.

2011, eh? I fking hate this model year pish. Unless someone has figured out how Doc Brown's Flux Capacitor worked it's still 2010.

The looks are going down well. As to how it sells (at least near me), I have yet to see. Plenty for sale though.

$79k list price for a 5.0L "base model" XJL is very slightly less than a BMW 750i in the US.

So, the price in competative to its peers. I think the looks have a Bentley slant to it. Another poster said it looked "Korean". That claim does have some validity from some angles; however, I believe that some time behind the wheel or seeing it in the flesh for awhile would dispell that.

Eh?

The UK ones are limited to 155mph, not heard of a 121mph limit... could be a federal thing?

My local Jaguar dealer had a black XJ outside thier dealership today and in the flesh it looks quite classy. Some akward angles on it but I think its somthing new and fresh and will grow on a lot of people. It looks better than a BMW 7 series or new Audi A8 in my opinion. However I wouldnt of said its as good as the Merc S class but I would have one anyday because its a Jaaaaaaaaaaaaag.
