I followed a new XJ down the M6 today!
But not for long, I just had to get passed it before its ugliness made me ill..
They truly are big lumps of lard!

 

Right. But would you have recognized that "lump of lard" as a Jaguar, if you hadn't seen the cat or bling gills?

 

If I hadn't seen the press releases before its official launch, then probably no, I wouldn't have thought to myself "ah that must be the new XJ".
Fortunately Jaguar had the foresight to warn everyone before hand, that their eyes were likely to be offended in the near future, by releasing many pictures of the new Star Ship Pasteurise!
