Nice, but still prefer the real Jags from the sixties.

Ah....the days when cars were made by the people who badged them.  We'll call them 'traditional' jags.  :)

They are certainly a nice car.  I'm not convinced about its arse - in fact I thing the Jag designers were smoking the wrong shit when they got to that bit.

Good luck with it :y

Having owned a couple of Rover 400 saloons, with similar pig ugly rear styling, you can always live in the knowledge that you don't have to look at it when you're in it Dbug ;D

And anyone following won't see it for long either, as you disappear into the horizon.


How long you had it?

Evening. Nice car. Superb rear end. :)
;D, that's the thing with "art", one person will love it, the next will think its back is pig ugly ;D.

Its due to the rear styling, I think I'd prefer an XF, even if you do miss out on some of the extras.

No... No. I meant, Superb rear end. ;D

Not been on for a while - fed up with inane comments from the keyboard warriors on here.

Thought you may be interested in pics of my new wheels, an XJ, not new but only 30K, complete with 2 year Jag warranty - collect next week from Jag main dealer.
Its a petrol (don't like weasels altho impressed with the 3 lit one I test drove) - the 5.0 lit V8 - 0-60 4.4 secs

Exactly, just what proper Jags always did.

The nose down stance and heavy rear quarters(which have always been Jaguar's style) look good hoovering up the road.

I'd love one, but with a dark interior.

Out of pure bizarre stylistic interest (dbug may find this interesting) the rear lamps are designed to look like cat's claws dragging downwards (look carefully you can see vertical stripes). One of them little quirks that drop into car styling. Oh, and other that I know of, the headlamps are made to echo the silhouette of an E-Type.

Terrific car love them.
