good to see that its 1-0 for the CLS against its first true competition.. ..

At least Merc has the got the proportions right!!

The Jag looks like it's trying to fit too many details in such a limited bodywork. It doesn't look long and sleek like the concept or the CLS.

Maybe this is the reason why Ford is now offloading Jaguar. Execs saw this car, and said "oh no, let's sell this company before this *%% reaches the market"

At first blush, the headlight design looks really strange. It's as though the headlights are doing this:

Maybe this won't look so strange in person, but I'm starting to think this this may be another case of a potentially classic (think XK) Jag design being spoiled by clumsy headlight styling. Either that, or I just don't get it yet, so call me undecided.

The XF would look much better with upside down headlights.



Nice Ford Mondeo profile.

It reminds me on XK where everything looks really nice, except the headlights and that dumb front look... A serious problem that hurts the rest part of the design, imo...

Don't forget another family member: Mazda 6.
I bet the side profile will be similar to Mondeo.

Yeah, they probably have 20 guys sitting in front of a computer trying to get the picture removed from every blog or new site on the net. Unfortunately it is pointless because the picture is spreading like Paris Hilton's first sex tape during the month of launch

I bet that Ford doesn't like comments been made about the car either. But that's what you get for messing up once more. The car looks like a Volvo S80 dressed in a British tailored suit. They even have the same side mirrors and dorr handles.

One of the saddest things that occured to me at this leaked launch is that it looks nothing like a Jaguar... then again, these days Jaguar doesn't seem to have any distinctive styling anyways.

[Bartek Sikorski]

Total disaster. They are ruining Jaguar totally.

Uhhh from the side profile picture it doesn't appear that the headlight is like that little picture at all. It looks like two distinct circles that are connected. Am I blind???
