Well, maybe. According to Car magazine this month it'll be based on the 2007 model year X-Type (and that's going to be RWD - HURRAY!!).

There's also talk of an X-Type coupe (again, based on the '07 model) and a coupe based on the next S-Type. I really hope that baby looks like the R-Coupe concept.

Ian Callum's first production Jag will be the new XK, due in '04....can't wait.

I don't think Car magazine has a website. There is an artist's impression in the mag though....looks like the original concept (front engine, rear wheel drive).

Hopefully, the long lead time will mean Jaguar will have time to develop this into a serious machine.

The article also states that the X-Type estate (due sometime soon) won't be replaced when the new (RWD) X-type arrives. Pity they didn't say the same about diesels....
