Honestly...it seems a little...cold. I also prefer a console mounted, gated shifter over the steering column, or elsewhere.

Link: Jaguar XF

 

I don't see a pic . Is there supposed to be one?

 

It is rather blah.

 

 

This car could be a Lexus, doesn't look like a Jag at all. There is a way to go forward without looking like a Japanese car....

 

Yea i'm not really impressed...

 

The exterior looks aston martin -ISH.

 

interior can pass off as a lexus. thats a minus for this car for which i had high hopes. the exterior is so beautiful though. oh well...wont be my next car after all. lets see what audi can pull off with their new models..

 

Thanks for the pic! I've yet to see the interior.

Hmm, the only thing that I recognise as Jaguar is the interior door lock **** that's eerily similar to the X-Type (I think). The screen inset with vents flanking the side is very Japanese. In fact, I think the Corolla had this set up or some JDM Toyota model.

 

not really impressed with what I see so far . . .

 

This is somewhat disappointing. Hopefully being a preproduction model it's missing some embellishments. Ian Callum said a Jaguar interior needs to have a sense of drama and fun and makes you not want to get out. This doesnt' really seem to have any of that.

On the other hand, it does seem to ahve kept the concept's cool rotary gear ****.

 

Looks like a Lincoln interior. Are they still Ford based?

 

Isnt there a Toyota Crown interior that kinda looks like that, or used to look like that??

Not a lot of buttons like the other European cars, but Im liking this layout more than what BMW or MB is currently offering (with there rotary command/idrive *****) even if it is a little cold.

Will wait to see what official pics will look like. It does look to have an all leather dashboard though.

 

The center console kinda looks like the sc430's console
I like the exterior though.

 

Ian Callum is a big Lexus fan and cites the L-Finesse styling as a direction Jaguar should be going down.
