    That looks like armor. Mayhap it's the new Batmobile?

    Hopefully the new XJ will carry over some of the smoothness and poise that the XJ has had throughout it's entire history. Definitely one of my favorite cars. For me, at least, they could have left the styling the way it was. It still looks great in 2009, and that is saying something. I don't know if the new Jaguar and the new XJ can capture the same magic as the old Jaguar, but I hope it can be good. I leave you with pictures of greatness.

    @.357: I, like you, am one of the few who likes the current XJ as is. The interior design isn't as snazzy as an Audi, but it is familiar and comfortable.


    Than being said, I can't wait to see the new one. I just wish that Jaguar would finally grow a pair, reach over into Aston Martin's garage, and yoink a V12 to shove under the hood of the new XJ.


    A large, stylish, V12 Jag would be all kinds of awesome.

    The front end of the Jag looks absolutely tiny to be pulling that volume of car. In fact, it looks like a Jag got rear-ended by a 1966 Ford Country Sedan wagon.

    @POLAЯMISSESEVEЯYBODY: That photo reminds me; before I left town for Thanksgiving I was working late, and when I left downtown I got stopped at a light, and I swear an S10 pickup (the older boxy style) crossed the street in front of me with 3-4 people sitting on the edge of the pickup bed, and they were holding a casket steady that was sitting on one of those little scissor-type rolling deals (complete with the brown crushed velvet skirt hiding the scissor thing). I was too busy picking my jaw up off the floor to notice if they were dressed for a funeral or not, so I guess it could have been a prop for a play or something...but I didn't get the sense they were dressed in work clothes. And no procession or anything following, just the lone truck. If I hadn't been exhausted and late heading home in the first place, I'd have followed them just to see where they were going.
