Jaguar, under the careful stewardship of Tata Motors, is reportedly considering three new cars for market. We understand a coupe or roadster version of the upcoming new XF is on the cards, and so is a smaller sports car. The compact coupe car would be positioned below the XK while the sports car would be sent to compete with Porsche Boxster/ BMW Z4/ Merc SLK. A big luxury car is also on the table, possibly pitched against Rolls Royce and Bentley.
This information is courtesy of dealers in the US who were also told that an SUV could not be considered under the name Jaguar as it would cannibalise sales from sister company Land Rover. Also a smaller, entry-level X-Type-based SUV is out of the question. No word yet on hybrids and the like going forward, but we do expect both brands to quickly get up to speed on these within the next few years.

They've built this thing so small so as not to alienate XK sales that no one will drive it. It needs to be larger than a TT. Any guy would look funny driving this.
This car would definitely give competition to the cars it is in league with. However with the Z4, I am sure the jag will annihilate the Z4 before you even put petrol in the car.
Any any suggestions that there could be anything else based on the X-Type is just rubbish. Everyone knows that model is as dead as a dodo.
This article is tosh.
