I was just looking at the Tata motors website, if you watch the flow of cars at the top of the screen the last two that flash by are a LR and a Jag.. the Jag looks alot like the 2010 XJ8 above.. http://www.tatamotors.com

I couldn't have said it better myself. TRADITIONAL STYLING. If Jaguar redoes the Xj to look like this, no Jaguar for me. That still leaves me the Cadillac DTS. Well, Ok, now I hear they might discontinue that. What am I left with now? Lincoln Town Car? Would not be my first choice.

I find most cars look better in person than in pictures. These profile pics of the new XJ are taken at an extremely low height...almost equal to the height of the door handles. When you see a car "in the flesh" you are looking at it from a downward angle from your eye height. Really changes the the perception of proportions.
I think Jag has to do something dramatic. It certainly won't appeal to purists, but then again the purists surely weren't buying the damn things!

Here's a picture from a Japanese web site. This looks more realistic than some of the photo shopped pictures floating around. I'll take one in Black with the 510hp motor to replace my aging M5.
I drove the Supercharged XF on a track and around country roads and loved it, but it's a tad too small for the way I use a car. So I'm looking forward to this XJ. I think I read that the XJ will be lighter than the XF due to the aluminum body. It will be interesting to see what rear axle ratio Jag puts in the SV8 XJ. Could it be even faster than the XFR?

Im sad that the xj, and the traditional look is going, when u saw it, or even caought a glimpse of it, you knew it was a jag and u watched it, i have a x type and its still gets glared and stared at were ever i go. It sucks the hood ornaments gone too, even if i wasn't aerodynamic. Hopefuly their might be a present xjs around when i finish school.

Not too bad. I think I will see a bunch of these rolling around Manhattan. I know I know, Jag fans like us tend to decry anything that doesn't look like a class Lyons-era Jag. But let's face it -- Jaguars were hardly selling very well. They had to change their aesthetics big time. Looks decent to me.
