Was heading to Birmingham Airport today to pickup a friend and was in my A8 4.2 outside lane cruising at 85mph-ish. And in my mirror i saw the familiar front of the new XF.
Quickly i got my cameraphone and handed it to the passenger to get some pictures, and although there not great i thought you guys might like to see them.
I pulled into the middle lane to let it through and it stormed past doing about 110mph.
I have to say i was really impressed by the looks of the thing although i wasnt that impressed by the pictures they seem to have done a great job and it looks really special. Maybe its like the A5, in that it looks much better in the flesh. And it had a key ingredient i havent seen in a jaguar for years... Road presence.
Jaguar are local to me in Birmingham so i expect its a journalist picking it up from Castle Bromwich (production line) to take it down to London to review ect.
By the way the registration was VE07 i think so look out for it in Autocar, Car, Topgear or Evo next month !!!
