new Jag XF almost revealed...

[HKS786]

Over at carspyshots.net, someone received the press pack with 16 pages including full official pics! I'll upload them tomorrow as soon as the person uploads them. However, I'll paste what he said so far and I told him make a crappy sketch for us today!

"well im sorry im not much of a car nut soill try to explain the best i can
it is true tot he c-xf concnet exacept rhe hed lamps are more convential they are just as you see on the latest chops of the car the grille it big and round and dominates the front giving it a tough look and the vents under the pate look just like a bentley continental gts. the rear door looks small to the rest of the car but the interior is amazin the rea leg room is great and the dash is very futuristic.

as i said im not very gud at expalining so any more questions feel free to ask!

but sumone messaged me askin about it in comparison to a mercedes cls all i can say to tht is

merecedes what?? no one will even think twice of the cls when u see the xf

this is the car tht is goin to luanch jaguar!!"

That's his sketch, not much but if anyone wants to see the XF that badly, it'll do till tomorrow! Also, he has shown quite a lot of detail, headlights are just as I expected and I see strong hints of the RD6 concept!

Edit: he will upload a video from the DVD he got in the press pack tomorrow too!

cant see what you mean, but I'll have more pics for you real soon :)

i think that the rearlights looks like someone from Jag went to aston and stole them from the DB9...

For my woes, I once test drove a X-type. After 10 minutes behind the wheel, I was looking for my slippers and pipe.

You not half feel old driving one.

I agree with you on that but look at what Jaguar are doing now:

Click on "future technology" and watch the videos. They go through everything they are trying to incorporate into new models...

To clear my statement... :)

This new Jaguar looks to me like a new Ford Mondeo, familt resamblance, I asume... :D

Yep that's what I think is the first official pic BUT it's confusing because someone posted a scan of the brochure showing the headlight. It is quite different. I'll confirm later if I can...

Put a sheet of paper to cover everything from the rear wheel forward, now what does it look like. If the car has an A and M at it's name then we are in agreement.

So true. It's almost like another reason to not get the Rapide when it comes out. The Rapide already looks like a DB9 with 2 more doors slapped on...

So, I'm the only one to think that New Ford Mondeo and new Jaguar look alike... :confused:

Andy,

If you were the Jag given the choice, which would you prefer to be like.

New XF = RD6 Concept + AM Rapide

They are going to do the same mistake... Once again...

Why are you going to buy an expensive AM if you could have a much cheaper Jag? :vhmmm:

There's the car uncovered people. I couldnt get these pics sooner because Jaguar are being very careful and have told websites not to upload official pics. These pics were on some forum.

Overall I like the front, I think it looks great. Infact the whole car looks great. It's quite reminiscent of the S-type headlights and Jaguar's traditional Saloon square grilles but I see too much Aston Martin in the rest of the car...pretty cool tech too, i like the rising gear lever, smart...

I must say that interior design is a breath of fresh air, very modern if a little Japanese in appearance but clearly with real wood instead of plastic.

A car I would be proud to own, I take it HKS786 you are seriously considering this new Jag for your stable?

So, I'm the only one to think that New Ford Mondeo and new Jaguar look alike... :confused:

No, you're not the only one. Me thinks the same and why? Because Jaguars are essentially Fords. This proves it. Jaguars are not more than Ford adaptations, trust me, I drive a Jag. I think Jag doesn't deserves as much appreciation as it gets.
