Absolutely! That's gorgeous and doesn't look like any other marque than Jag. The new XJ's could be designed and built in Japan or Germany.

It has potential, especially if the 'hardtop' can be retained (unlikely).

However, it's gonna have to have amber rear turn signals. Like ALL vehicles should have, IMO.

Definitely going to need a wheelbase stretch to make the rear seat accessible, too.

Wow, that's amazing. I'd love to see something like it.

Jaguar has had immense difficulty with headlight designs of late.

The XK and XF particularly imho.

I agree about the amber rear turn signals. Won't buy a car with red!

I like it. They need to get rid of those horizontal pencil headlights though and put two same size round headlights on each side. Like the X300/308 XJs had. Modern projectors of course. Would match the car much better.

It would actually be a very smart move by Jaguar keep at least one vehicle in the lineup traditional.

I love it. It looks like a Jaguar in a very good way. Compared to the current XJ, which I like, it looks more like a Jaguar should.

to me the interior is a bit off....even for a concept....but the car itself is stunning....
I'm suprised Jaguar has not joined in on the 'frontal LED lights' anywhere....
but there is that company: startech or something? modding for Jaguar?

the interior of the new xj's is simply astounding.......in my opinion

I'm not really crazy about those lights. I like to call them "Audi lights" since Audi started the craze. It seems now you can get stick ones and everyday I see at least one old rusted beater sporting them. Pretty funny, they might like nice on a new A5 but putting them on your 1988 Taurus is ridicules.

LOL, I thought audi started it too......then 'everyone' (lots of other makers) decided it was a good idea.....
I have to admit liking them on my car now...another reason I have a new MB.......
they do look nice on the a5 I agree......although I'm not a fan of audi......
they're also coming out with an all led headlight.....or out already....
my tail lamps are all led......and that problem is when one goes out...the entire unit needs to be replaced....
and funny about the taurus, the new ones even have those tiny ones up front......I actually kind of like the style of those new taurus, lol......
I'm sure they're SHO model is nice too.....

I'm still cat-less as well, but will be working on it this week....
