IF that is genuine, then it's bloody lovely.

Also, the XF needs those headlight units yesterday.

[Negative Creep]

Not sure about those rear lights, they look like something from a Manga comic. Rest of it is lovely though

[Mr Dave]

Lovely. But I think it would date quickly.

That is it, I was working at JLR when they built the first few.

And those headlights will be on the 12MY XF.

There you go, an insider scoop.

Front, lovely
Side, lovely
Rear, diar imo

[LHDisbest]

That is lovely, but the rear is a tad unresolved.

Who would have a Panamera when you could have an XJR?

ETA - Will this get the V8 Diesel from the Range Rover?

Look forward to seeing one in the metal but that does absolutely nothing for me from any angle. Quite disappointingly something of nothing.

[10 Pence Short]

Looks like a Citroen C6 and an Audi A6 shagged.

[Chuffer]

I like the front and also the side profile. The rear is just not distinct enough. To me it resembles the rear of a Conti GT with different light clusters.

Hopefully the fact that it looks like the lights actually go up and towards the rear windscreen will make the rear stand out a little more in the metal.

You can definately see how the Maserati Quattroporte influenced it.

As someone with one of the current shape XJRs...

... I will be starting to save up for one of these forthwith.

Looks luvverly!!!

Much prefer the current model, modern but still keeps the original style

This one looks terrible imo, the back looks like an ugly bentley the side looks a bit of a mess
Side profile just looks a bit wrong, and the front looks a bit like the insignia with a mixture of other new saloons in it!

[B17NNS]

Looks like a bizarre mating accident between a C6 and an XF.

Much prefer the old one.

Lovely as that is, its 2009 now not the mid 90's. It is time for Jaguar to completely update their range, and they have done very well with this gorgeous new XJ.

The rear end looks foul.
