http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/Jaguar-XF/227470/ Can't make up my mind whether I like it or not
I love the styling compared to most of it's competition. So much cleaner and classier. Has pricing been announced?
I dont know how to say this, but im not that impressed. For some reason it reminds me of Buick Lucerne.
Jeez, what a dissapointment. Things I notice... - Modified Volvo S80 hood, bumper, fenders, and headlights - A Lexus GS side-profile - Lincoln MKZ rear - Volvo side mirrors - Ford Crown Victoria dash
It is a nice design, but the headlights are really not great. I am starting to worry about the future of Jag. The concept was gorgeous, and this, well, isn't.
I like the new Jaguar.. Sure it went from Aston Martin Rapide killer to a lexus competitor but I guess that was to be expected considering the pricing of the vehicle. The roofline was changed from the show car and I thought for sure that would be the loser as it became a production model as the show car was ridiculous.. Meanwhile the production roofline and rear end is beautiful and yet the front end has been "toned down" to a marginal looker... should have kept the front end of the showcar... JMO
I don't like it, I don't see why Jaguar is ruining what were good concepts like this. To me, the last good looking Jaguar production car was the XJ220.
This fugly POS will spell the end of Jaguar... They're already barely a blip on the radar, this will put the final nail in the coffin.
Jaguar couldn't keep the original concept design due to the fact that the headlights were too expensive to produce. IMO, they should have cut costs on something else and stayed more true to the concept because this car looks horrific. Like everyone else mentioned, the first thought that came to mind was Buick. Sad, this could have been a small victory for Jag, instead it's killing itself. Maybe this was a cry for help to future investors. Let's hope so.
First thought Buick? You guys are generous. When I saw theose headlights, all I could think of was "Daewoo". They ruined a perfect concept car.

+1. This car follows in the long tradition of automakers introducing a nice concept (which I was interested in) and then coming out with a production version which I would not even slightly consider purchasing. Jaguar is digging an even larger grave for itself.
