Can anyone tell me if Jaguar plan to launch a diesel version of the new XJ. I passed a new XJ on the way home from testing the BMW 535D Sport and thought "now of only they did that as a diesel".

Yes I read somewhere that the XJ is lighter than the S type. If I was going to buy a petrol I was thinking of a 3.5 Sport. I have found a number of 5 month old cars with £13 - £15K off list. Personally I think the only way to buy a car that big is to go down the used route. I was just suprised to find that sort of saving on something so new. I was expecting it to be like the BMW and Audi and the dealers only offering that sort of money off 12 month old stock.

No I appreciate that the S Type is more akin to the 5 Series, but I am not 100% about the face of S-type. I like the look of the XJ and of course it is lighter than an S.

It's a car I would put on my list as a replacement for our Boxster, at the end of the day it will come down to the trade in deal on our Boxster.
