Default All new XJ Jaguar revealed..

The new XJ has been revealed tonight, quite a stunning car and a glass roof as well!, front looks a little heavy/Audi-ish but nevertheless a stunning car.P.

If you can say one thing, it looks big. Real big.

First impressions are of mixed feelings. Not to keen on the rear but the front is alright (reminds me to a slight similarity to a Nissan Skyline GT-R, R35-build) and the inside reminds me of a luxury yacht or similar Anyways, looks good.

The shape looks great - but who wants a giant glass roof? Terrible idea.

I don't know wether to like it or to gasp in horror - perhaps that combination is a good thing? One thing is certain, it's a lot better than the old Xf's. I would buy a Passat or Mondeo if I wanted something looking like the old one.

Jaguar have taken brave step in recent years. Just hope it all works out.

I wonder where the front the number plate will reside.
I'm sure it will grow on us, it's such a radical departure from what we know as a Jag. I guess it is the 21st century.

it is certainly different from the old xj's, i'm still not sure if i like it or not, to me it looks abit to much like a citroen.

i wouldnt call it ugly, i think its the same for all new jaguars it just takes time for you to get used to them, look at the xjs in the 70's, everyone hated it when it came out but now it looks as beautifull as ever!

It does look nice, although that hump on the bonnet looks rather Volvo-ish and the sides from the front wings back look Audi/new Citroen C5/Passat.
