Mr. Kidd,
I do think the new XJ body is the right direction for Jaguar, and I think it is a stunning car, my only problem is I think it looks a little too Lexusish (especially the XF). I just need to get used it it. When you see a new XJ you may not know right away that it is a Jaguar, but you do know it is something special.
I have mentioned in this thread in the past that I need to warm up to the new body style of Jaguar sedans and I especially thought the XF looked too much like a Lexus from the profile.
I must now say that after spending a week in an XF (loaner car while my wife's S-type is in the shop) , I'm really warming up to that car. It is fantastic! With its more aggressive looking front end, I have noticed when I am behind another car, they tend to change lanes more frequently than in my older Jags.
