If the stunning new XFR and XKR are anything to go by, I can easily see this Jag becoming the new benchmark in this class.

I have high hopes for this XJ and am really excited about seeing this huge change in styling. Roll on the unveiling - It feels like we have been following this XJs development for an eternity now. Show us... shock us Jaguar. In this class the Audi A8 has been my favourite for some time, unless you include the Quattroporte, but the XJ could change that. Although a new A8 is incoming...

I do agree, in my opinion the audi A8 is the better of the big three germans, and i always liked the jaguar xj because its one of the few cars out there that have the flat wide look to it, its classy. Where as the new bmw 7 looks a lot like a lexus ls, im sure the new xj is going to look or at least have similarities with the xf and the new upcoming aston martin rapide and of course with its own unique character.

I'm in full agreement with both of you ... the A8 is easily the class leader for style (and quality) ... and I also liked the XJ design from day one, but unfortunately the Jaguar guys sat on their hands and failed to build on the original and simply replicated it over and over instead of updating and modernising it with the newer models ... hopefully this new one will be as good as the first XJ was back then.

I've always liked the looks of the XJ, even though it seems pretty old. What I liked about it is the fact that it stands out from the Germans. But I think Jaguar should focus on an X-Type replacement, because the current XJ seems pretty much alright for the next couple of years. The X-Type really needs a replacement.

It's not going to happen. It just isn't worth engineering a whole new platform for such a car, which is what would be needed. I want the XK to work as a stunning car in its own right and a valid alternative to the Germans. A less highly strung Quattoporte if you like.

Haha dodgeyaussie good idea. Despite what the doomsayers predicted the Indians have been doing a terrific job of managing LR and Jaguar. Updated diesel V6 and petrol V8, incoming facelifted Disco 3 and RR, new LRX, stop/start in Freelander 2 , this new XJ etc. etc. Could teach the Americans a thing or two about development. Annd I'm an Aussie.
