Those are BIG brakes! I can't wait to see what this car looks like.

I’ve always loved Jag XJ’s and while this may not live up to expectations with regards to looks (I’m expecting something exceptional) it will still be dawn good.

BIG ambitions,Crisis please don't kill this car before it left in manufacture.

If these images in autoexpress.co.uk are real thing then Jag is gone. It reminds me a story of Citroen after his DS series time.

I think the traditional 3-box sedan styling is no longer fashionable. It may return. To me it looks more Audi A6.

Looks sharp, even in all that camo!
I can see this Jag redefining this luxury car class. If it's half as good as the XFR and XKR, Jag will have another winner here.

I once made an executive model shoot out comparison on the Jaguar XF 3.0 with a BMW 530i, Mercedes-Benz E 280 AMG Sport Package, Audi A6 3.0 TFSI Quattro, Lexus GS300 and the Volvo S80 3.2 - leaving feeling disappointed.
I believe the car is overhyped and completely overrated... with the help of the British medias. The car is overrated with many borrowed design cues, poor driving dynamics and a gimmicky cockpits.
I think Jaguar has lost its plot these days by ditching its heritage and good design. Instead.. they build a German clone car. But what they didn't realized is that Munich, Stuttgard and Ingolstadt make a really good German car.
The current XJ is a brilliant car. Thanks largely to its lightweight aluminum body construction and good balance. I just hope it doesn’t fall into the XF booby-trap. Please no baby Aston Rapide. The Rolls-Royce 200EX, Maserati Quattroporte and Fisker Karma is undeniably one of the most beautiful four door saloon.
I won't comment further until the new XJ is out. What do you guys think?

Thats truth. XF design is already showing what is going down there. By that approach they never make better than current XJ is.

I think you are talking a load of bull s!*t Nederina, the XF blows the competion into the weeds, especially the amazing new XFR which is simply sublime!!!!!!!!!!

I have to agree with nederina's comments. I think they should have came out with a new X-Type to compete with the 3Series, IS 350 and other saloons in it's class that is where they could get more sales. The Loyalist will get the XJ regardless but you want to attract new buyers, younger buyers. That, I feel would really help jag. The XF-R is hot by the way so this better be hotter.
