Hmmm...

A Jag beating a Bimmer?

I definately want to read that article!

I'm getting more and more interested with what the XF has to offer.

Autocar is a UK magazine, & those publications are not known to be impartial, they always rank Jags higher than in any other places in the world . . .

as much as i don't like the exterior of the 5 series, that jag looks way worse @_@

I just feel like the Jag is bland to be honest. Especially in the pic above.

Interesting. That Jag looks very different then what I'm used to seeing from Jaguar.

Actually, as a regular reader of Autocar, the one thing that infuriates me (and a lot of other readers if the letters section is anything to go by) is the magazine's bias towards BMW. It seems as if all BMW has to do is turn up for these tests and it is automatically given the No.1 spot. The 3-series wins the compact executive test, the 5-series wins the mid-size test etc, etc. It gets boring.

Anyway, I have this issue somewhere and if I remember correctly, the BMW was faster and more economical, plus had more room in the rear, yet the Jag still won - go figure? Maybe they felt guilty.

That Jag should have a conventional grille (black plastic bars) with a Hyundai emblem on it.

I agree, the front end of the Jag looks strange...although the rear looks great IMO.

The Top Gear video review of the new Jag was also quite positive.

hmm i actually like the xf, i think it looks quite nice, and i rather have it look plain then ugly, and all the cool gadgets look really cool inside, just wished that they would have offered here in the states with a good 3.5 v6

I think the front is bland or kinda weak, but I think the rest looks WAY better than a 5 series.

Also an Autocar subscriber but I haven't read the article. Don't argue with any of the posts. At least if Autocar said the back seat was tighter than a 5 series they are telling the truth as far as I can opposed to the moronig advertising drivel put out in the other British car mags about the room in the back seat. Couldn't get in the XF at the local auto shows but that back seat is going to be tight.

It is worth remembering that the UK press gushed pretty enthusiastic about the S Type and then kept saying that Jag steadily improved it. May or may not be true, I don't think it is, but it sure didn't translate into sales when standing up to the competition.

The back of the car actually looks better in person than the photo above.
