It's just too bad that this thing is kicking the GS's butt, along with BMW 5 and MB E Class...

Mark my words, Jag will be out of business in 5 years if the keep producing this crap. That front-end is horrendous.

Anyone see the resemblance with the Maserati? Jaguar needs to start being more original.

I loved the concept. The release photos were a big let down and I hoped it would look better in person. Aside from the novel gadgetry inside, I'm not too excited by this jag. front and rear really don't live up to expectations.

It's very nice IMO... Only if the grille is less square...

Interesting wheels.

I would have loved for all that chrome to be black polished chrome instead...

the car does look much better in person than in does pictures...


I too, was disappointed when they released the production images for the vehicle, but was pleasantly surprised when I saw the actual car a few weeks ago parked on my street...
