Er, it's not little. It's the same size as a 7-series.
And there is a window hidden in the "huge C-pillar" - see the shots of the undisguised car from above: http://www.worldcarfans.com/9090420.006/mini1/all-new-jaguar-xj-teaser-details-video-released

I have almost believed.Then has looked on closer,all fallen into own place.Interesting thing will we wait that day when on the contrary will be BMW diguised as JAG..))Hah

perhaps because of that kidney grill ? .. this car looks really sleek, almost like an 4 dour coupe

Perhaps the grill is just an diversion. Why this has to be an 4 door coupe? This will limited the sales I think. Maby it looks grrat without all this commo, but like this I like the shape of the old XJ more

true, that new 'coupe' profile will sure limit its sales... i mean, it's great that jaguar is so commited now on offering sports-oriented cars... but does that new xj mean that they're exiting the 'executive sedan' market altogether? because those new xf and xj are sure not cars to be chauffered in!

I still feel they need to redo the X-Type to compete with the 3series. I feel this could boost sales. Plus if they do an X-Type R with maybe a supercharged engine like the XF then that would be great.

BMW can only dream about their cars looking as stylish as these red hot new Jags.
The headlights look like the C-XF prototype ones, great:) Everything about it just looks bang on the money, role on July when it is unveiled, this Jag is going to redefine the luxury car class!!!!!!

This idea is great to totally disguise its car, but now everyone is going to get the thought the Jag are BMW wannabes.

think you will find Jaguar are taking the piss out of BMW, nice one Jag:)

now that is hot. finally something to keep up with the quattroporte and the rapide... take that, panamera.

Jaguar is dead. After they phase out or redo the XK to no longer look like a classic Jag I will loose all intrest in the company. srry.

Yeowza, that's gorgeous! I could never have a 7, S or A8 over this now. Ok, maybe a 7 for its driving characteristics (but then I'd rather get an M5), but if the XF-R is anything to go buy, this will dominate on the dynamics front too. All they need now is to give the X-type a re-style, a re-name, a new (not contrived) RWD chassis, an 'R' variant and some stonking engines, and Jag will take it back to the Germans in full force (except they don't have an SUV yet, but that's what LR is for).
As for this flagship, wow. Except I'm not getting the taillights. Autocar says they wrap vertically around the flanks like a Citroen C6. That doesn't sound nice. But I have full confidence Jag's designers will make it look great.
Good show Jag, now fix the X-type.
