Jaguar XF Undisguised(Update - Jaguar XF in the flesh in Frankfurt)
Jaguar XF Caught Undisguised
The Ford-owned British sports car maker, Jaguar, is preparing a replacement for the current S-Type, to be named Jaguar XF and scheduled for launch this fall.
Code-named X 250, the new XF aims in particular at buyers of the very successful BMW 5-Series. The current S-Type has been on the market since 1998, and although it had found many faithful buyers, the nostalgic styling turned out not to be for everyone. The new XF abandons traditional styling to pursue a more youthful modern design as seen in the C-XF Concept.
The XF engines range from 6 and 8 cylinder engines including the new 3.2 liter petrol 6-cylinder, first used in the Volvo S80. Also the 4.2 liter V8 of the current model is expected to be upgraded to 5.0 liter. Transmission is a six speed automatic controlled through an all-new gear selector interface called JaguarDrive.
These photos are showing a right-hand drive prototype of the new Jag as it was being loaded into a truck for transport. The usual car cover has been rolled up and placed on top of the car, giving us the first clear look at the car without disguise.

Anybody noticed SV8 badge? Could this mean supercharged V8 is taking a place of outdated Jag 300hp V8?
Probably since new V6 is going to be introduced but we should not expect 420hp out of it like on R models, more reasonable would be around 340

You're not refering to the Saturn Aura, are you? Having seen and reviewed the Aura, I don't see the similarity at all....nor to that of any other Saturn product (most of which are Opel-based today).
