New Jaguar XJ

I cant believe no one has posted about this! The new Jaguar XJ is on the way! Jag have managed to shed so much weight for the new XJR, it actually comes in lighter than the X-type!! Special aluminum was used to achieve a curvy body, which wouldnt be possible using normal aluminium. Performance and fuel economy will be vastly improved (not that there was anything wrong with performance in the previous model ) which will surely increase sales.
Models available will be a 240bhp 3l V6, 260bhp 3.5 V8, 300bhp 4.2 V8, and the XJR, weighing in at a stonking 400bhp from its supercharged engine.
I like the look of the front, its really not so different to the previous XJ, though the back has a few questions to answer to.... such as "why?"

Details and pics available on:

cheers,
jay

The Jaguar saloons all look the same to me.

Well, they have a "family-face" but thats about it as far as i can tell.. although the new XJ is extremely similar to the old one... very conservative design evolution if you ask me

It is a quite nice clasic statley design though, with a great engine to power it underneath the bonnet... I think it will sell well!

Jaguar have done a great job, if they changed it too much it would have been a sin!

I think because they've kept the design similar, the car will be popular for years to come.

Nope, Jags hide their age well.

Rolls Royce and Bentleys designs have never ages and they are still very similar from the 1930's!
