i agree with Callum's interior philosophy.

a lot of nasty wood tack ons these days.

especially the aftermarket "wood packages"

I love the innovative use of wood around and above the dash, not on the console.

I think it will be a hit for Jaguar. It will help the brand strive...

lol i dont see any innovative technology in the car. they just copied the S class for the LCD use in the instrument cluster and also the split view nav screen.

after looking at all the pics and then the video i think the design is a huge win except for the tail lights/trunk where it could look less awkward, but it's not a disaster as the video shows.

that video is car ****.

I think I like the XF more. These cars look almost exactly alike in terms of the lines. The exterior features are different, but I would go with the XF

That's my preference too, yea the XF is slightly more conventional. But I like the XF front end, fastback roofline, window treatment, high beltline, taillights more.
