So is there any confirmation that this is an entirely new car or a replacement for the S-Type? I heard that this car along with the XK is Jaguar's new push into the upper-end luxury market - with V8s and all that.

I won't be surprised to hear Mr Clarkson singing praises to it.

Gosh!! Why can't Jaguar just leave the 90s quad head lights behind. It ruined the car

Who the hell's pulling the strings over there?

Production-wise I think it is very difficult to shape metal and glass this way, I don't know, it just looks too complicated to be done en masse. Also those lights you see on the concept don't appear to be normal Xenons, they also have LEDs in them. Probably safety regulations also prevented Jag from transplanting the gorgeous headlights over...

I'll have to take your word for it Mirage77, I have not a clue about the potential complexities involving car design!

Well don't be harsh Tycoon, the car is nice but we've kind of seen the best case scenario with the C-XF concept. Thats why we are dissapointed. However the car still looks nice.

Goodluck Jaguar.

I have to be! I know concepts to production cars change, but not like this, this is ruining and killing all of their efforts, therefore - FY Jaguar!

It looks like "Jag-meets-Volvo".
