I like the new jag ( not the one shown) but it lacks its "jagness". It now looks like every other mercedes or lexus. The classic jaguar lines have been erased for this??

If that was done in black/white/grey/silver of some combination it might have potential, but as is, it's awful.

From a car show perspective I understand it. That however is not what I would like seen done to a new XF.

What's the crap on the hood?

Too bad because the XF is one of best looking cars in its class today, in my opinion. And they sell well in CA.

I agree. It has lost its traditional British look. Now I think it looks more like a Japanese car.

People rant and rave about the styling ,but its no loner a Jag in my eyes. Unfortuneately it hasnt lost its Jaguar lack of reliability. I was reading a long term test of the car in a major publication recently and they stated that the car has electrical issue already

I have to disagree; I think that paint pattern is just disasterous regardless of color choice (or car choice for that matter).

They sure know how to ruin a nice looking car. BTW, I like the XF, it was a step in the right direction from Jaguar, but I havn't noticed many around. I wonder how their sales figures are with it.
