All I can say is it looked better in the Jaguar TV ad. The rear lacks curves of other Jaguar models. Or maybe it just looks unimpressive in silver. Anyhoo I hope the handling makes up for it.

Yeah, I normally like silver cars but it doesnt flatter the XE. White isnt that flash either unless it is in the R Sport trim. That is probably the least impressive angle though. They look pretty awesome from the front.

Colour makes a huge difference to the appearance of an XE in my opinion - they look far better in dark colours - in light colours they seem to have a generic aspect, but in black or a dark metallic green - wow!

I think only sports cars look good in silver.

Agreed, it shows off the curves http://jonathankressaty.com/wp-conte...ar-f-type1.jpg

My first XF was silver, it looked awesome.

I don't know about that, I think XE in white looks pretty nice. The difference are the wheels in my opinion.

If that owner leased it from "that" dealer, I would extra strongly suggest they take it to another Jag dealer upon lease return. I will never step foot in that place ever again.

That does look a lot nicer than the one I saw. We have the same wheels, I really like them.

Went to the local dealer and Elys and I were both digging polar white with black interior. XE is really sharp in person. This model is high on our list when our S60 Volvo lease ends.

I have one in silver; my old x308 is the same color so I'm probably biased as well.
