I agree the other posters on the rear. It looks well done whereas the front...they should've stuck with the concept. The car would look much more appealing (although it already is somewhat).
I've got no clue why the hell they would want to kill the front end.

Jaguar has announced that its 2010 XFR, the range-topping model of the mildly revised 2010 XF lineup, will start from $80,000 when it goes on sale later this year. Powered by an uprated, almost all-new AJ-series V8 motor, the XFR also receives numerous stylistic and handling-oriented changes as a part of its transformation into an R-series vehicle.
As expected, the XFR sits lower than the XF, and has a subtly more aggressive look. Adding to that look are 20-inch wheels — covering cross-drilled rotors — and quad-exhaust outlets, further separating the XFR from the lesser XF. Larger front air intakes and a subtle rear spoiler are also part of the XFR package.
The XFR also sports unique hood-mounted vents to keep airflow at a maximum.
Power for the XFR is provided by a 5.0L supercharged V8, rated at 510 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque — rivaling offerings from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. That’s enough grunt to get the Cat from 0-60 in 4.7 seconds on its way to an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.
Jaguar is proud of numerous underhood advancements with the new XFR - and it says that it achieves class-leading fuel economy and low emissions levels.
Elsewhere across the XF range, the base XF will begin at $52,000 for 2010 and the XF Premium will start at $57,000.

they're not tata's. yes tata owns them now but believe me, i take these cars apart every day, there are no tata parts on them. it's like saying we're driving around in very expensive toyota's. well.... except we are, whereas jaguar does not use any tata parts at all as opposed to our beloved lexus's which share many key parts with other toyota's.
