Ford never would have invested this much time and engineering so this would have never happened with them in control. Same thing with Volvo, the XC90, driv-e powertrains, scale-able platforms would not exist in the same way.

Jaguar Radiographs New XE Sedan's Dashboard and Tech [w/Video]
You've seen the XE's face, you've seen its body and you've seen what it looks like without its clothes, and now, Jaguar wants you to see its cabin through a virtual x-ray machine.
The dashboard appears to be influenced by both the F-Type (dual binnacle instrument cluster) and the XJ (center console under the air vents) though, Jaguar did not talk about the design.
Instead, it placed the emphasis on the car's technology features including an all-new InControl infotainment system with 8-inch touchscreen and full smart-phone integration for both iOS and Android devices. The system also functions as a Wi-Fi hotspot for multiple devices.
Jaguar says it will offer a variety of apps allowing smart-phone users to control functions such as door looking and engine start "from anywhere in the world".
The XE will also debut a laser head-up display (HUD), which Jaguar claims, is an industry-first.
"Projecting sharp, high-contrast colour images onto the windscreen, the technology provides the driver with information such as speed and navigation instructions with maximum clarity and minimum distraction. As well as better image quality, the laser HUD is smaller and almost a third lighter than existing systems," said Jaguar in a statement.
The British firm's new 3-Series and C-Class fighter will be revealed for the first time on September 8, ahead of a world premiere at the Paris Motor Show in October and a sales launch early next year.

Jaguar XE SVR coming in 2016 with 489 bhp - report
To be powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine
Jaguar is reportedly planning a range-topping SVR version for its all-new XE sedan, scheduled for a debut on September 8.
Auto Express reports the vehicle in question is set to fight the BMW M3 and will be powered by the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine from the F-Type S tuned to 489 bhp (364 kW). The unit will be matted to an 8-speed automatic transmission programmed to offer faster shifts than in the standard car. This will enable the sports sedan to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in around four seconds, before hitting an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
The report also says larger brakes, stiffer and lower suspension and an electronically controlled limited slip rear differential are expected. Other goodies will likely include an active exhaust system and a full aerodynamic body kit with modified front bumper and grille, a redesigned rear bumper with an integrated diffuser and quad tailpipes and bigger wheels.
The XE SVR will be designed and prepared by the Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations team and will arrive by early 2016 for around $100,000 (£60,000).

The Jaguar InControl® infotainment system equipped on the all-new Jaguar XE vehicles is designed around an 8-inch touchscreen. A clear, intuitive user interface gives quick, easy access to all features and functions, and voice control using plain speech means that drivers can keep their eyes on the road at all times*.
"In-car technologies in this ever-more connected and fast-paced world are an integral part of your driving experience. With the all-new XE we're introducing an entire suite of cutting-edge driver aids and entertainment systems. Designed and developed from scratch, they will ensure that every journey you take is simpler, more relaxing, safer, and effortlessly enjoyable."
Dr. Mike Bell, Jaguar's Global Connected Car Director
Smartphones are changing the way people interact with the world around them - the new XE allows drivers to stay connected. Jaguar InControl Remote™ allows users of iOS and Android smartphones to connect to the car from wherever they are and control a range of vehicle functions. These include seven-day timed pre-setting of the climate control system, locking and unlocking the doors and starting the engine.
Jaguar InControl Apps™ allows users to seamlessly access smartphone apps through the vehicle's touchscreen, making it easy to do everything from make a conference call, find a parking lot or book a hotel room*. With a purchased data plan, the XE can also function as a Wi-Fi hotspot, enabling multiple devices to connect to the Internet.
The sophistication of the infotainment system is matched by an array of advanced driver assistance systems available as an option in the new XE, such as the all-new laser Heads-Up Display (HUD). Projecting sharp, high-contrast color images onto the windshield, this new technology provides the driver with information such as speed and navigation instructions with maximum clarity and minimum distraction. In addition to better image quality, the laser HUD is smaller and lighter than existing systems**.
Designed and engineered in the UK, the aluminum-intensive XE will be the first Jaguar car manufactured at a new production facility at the JLR Solihull plant in the West Midlands in the UK.

Waiting for a debut today
The Jaguar XE has been caught on camera arriving in London for its official debut, set to take place today.
We are literally hours from the world premiere of the new compact sedan and it comes as no surprise the car was spotted in the capital of the UK. It is quite strange that the producer transports the car with no camouflage, as we can see from the blurry images. This is the first time the vehicle can be seen from all angles after several teasers.
As a reminder, Jaguar promises the XE will be one of the most economical premium compact sedan with a fuel consumption of less than 4 liters / 100 km (75 mpg UK or 62.4 mpg US) with CO2 emissions of less than 100 g/km for the diesel version. On the other hand, the range-topping modification will hit a top speed of more than 186 mph (300 km/h).
