Default New 2009 Jaguar XF official Photos- Looks like GS profile!!

Go to link at: http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsGa...L=-1&IM=133267

Tell me what you think!!!

I liked the concept but I think this car looks sweet and a bit close to the GS
profile. I am not sure that is a good or bad thing. GS interior is a hell lot better than this one.

THIS IS THE ACTUAL PRODUCTION XF PHOTOS NOT A CAMO COVERED CAR!

Looks kinda boring. Not enough style to stand out as a luxury car. The interior is not nice. The oddly large shape wood trip on the dooors looks dumb and out of place.

Like the interior, and I'm sure it's tech-packed (for a Jag). Good for them. However, personally don't like the front, and the side profile looks a little bit high? (very small windows) I like the rear a lot though. It's a good change for Jaguar for sure.

I loved the Concept CX-F but this is a far cry.

While the rear and side retained most of the concept's looks (I like the rear better than the GS) The front is horrible.

The sleek "cat eyes" from the concept are gone- replaced by an ugly "big-eye" one. The front airdam is also way too shallow, again the concept excelled. And don't even get me started on that ultra plain interior......
GS waaaaaaay better here.

Overall thumbs down. If Jaguar was really expecting this to resurrect the marque they better think again.

We'll have to wait for the new XJ- coming in 2010......

I can see how it could remind one of a GS, but to me the first thing I thought was Hyundai. It seems like if Hyundai was coming out with this type of car, this is what it would look like.

It will probably have much more presence in person though. Hopefully it will anyway for Jag's and Ford's sake.

You would think the 2/3GS was the grandest design every made with so many people taking so many cues from it.

I am a big Jag fan. This doesn't move me. Its nice but why get something that LOOKS like a GS when I can get a GS?

The rear is from Aston Martin, the headlights from the Monte Carlo. Ian Callumn might be a one trick pony. THe most comments I see is it looks like a new Hyundai or Kia or Lexus or Infiniti.

I know Jag had to break from its past but this was not it.

The interior leaves me very cold as well, though the gear selector is very slick.

As I plan to get a 3GS, this is ANOTHER car that will confuse it in traffic....sigh....

this is ford. since they own them....

they took volvo and aston martin, and stole a little from lexus, and blended everything.



i definitely like the shift ****.
add that with paddle shifters, and you got a good combo.


i think the back side is better executed in the jag than the GS. The butt of the GS looks bloated. the jag rear looks slick.

I may be alone......but the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this car was Buick. It looks so much like the Buick Lucerne or however you spell it lol, doesn't look very luxurious to me........meh *yawn*
