poor s-type. you will be missed… especially while this new xf fuglifies your rep.

Well, at least they saved the best one for last.

Are there any higher-res (as in bigger than 1280×960) versions of these photos, particularly the last shot? These pics here are useless as wallpapers.

They’re trying to make this a “classic”…It’s not!

still foul….

New for 2000!

hope the new transmission is better than the old… many a problems.

This is quite the subtle facelift, however I like the interior, its certainly been cleaned up a bit, I also like the various wood choices, they look good. However this is an aging car, an aging design, and an aging platform. In reality the S-Type, while it has the look of sophistication and typical Jag sportiness/elegance, falls far, far short of the class leaders, and ultimately fails in sophistication, luxury, and sportiness, the 3 things it most desperately needs to compete in such a competitive segment. I wish the replacement for it was going to be an all new, 100% redesigned model, but alas its not, looks like Jag’s midsize luxo sport sedan is most likely going to be down and out once again..

Any chance that jag might make reliability a standard feature, or for that matter even just a simple option? I’m certain some of their customers might like it.

Reliability? I thought that option is only offered on a Jag model that’s been out for at least 4 years. Ha ha…

But heck, I gotta give props for Jag for producing ultra cheap “Bentleys” to cater those who still covet that old British style. Otherwise how can they compete with the Germans…

well **** that gives people little incentive outside of the engine to buy the R.

i think the pictures of the XF look pretty good… but then again its probably because i dont drive a neon expresso

Always liked that ride. Jag did that design right because I think it is still a head turner.

why bother?

I love the idea of Jaguar, but frankly Ford ought to be embarassed that this car is carrying the flag for the marque, after nearly 10 years on the market.

And as for the facelift, it is so subtle as to be invisible. Good job, Bill Ford and team.

Only two more years til the replacement which – wait for it – - – is based on the OLD CHASSIS!! jesus it is sad just writing it….

The newer lower fascia seems a little non-descript; it doesn’t complement the rest of the car well. Although the rear is a clean, classic design, it seems less distinctive as before.

Also, I don’t know if whoever wrote this is British, but I found it funny that the word “colours” was used. New rule? When writing about British cars use British spelling?

Hooray for Andre It’s always difficult to disagree with a guy with a sense of humor.

Andres Neves, you are a treasure. And Jag is about to get things right; give them four years to roll out the new stuff and they will be smacking people around.

Finally they are killing the thing. I thought they had wanted it to have lived longer then Crown Vic & co.

Wow—that is one subtle facelift.

AndreNeves—I’ll bet your description of the typical LLN commentator is spot-on. It’s appalling how rude and inconsiderate some of the people are on here; this is supposed to be a forum for discussion of cars, NOT a stage for foul-mouthed mud-slinging.

All of you people saying Jags have bad reliablity should get with the times. Jaguar fixed that years ago they just need to come out with some more exciting new products.

Andre neves you are a smug twat and not very funny either

^ you both need to be kicked & banned from this site for some of the stuff that you say on here. Grow up.

Welcome back deantj. I hate to agree with you but Andre Neves is very staisfied with his/her own existence. I bet she is the one that really has a Neon Expresso, or worse a Dodge Caliper

1952 MG TD/deantj,
You are both pathetic and make a good match together. Emails and phone numbers should be exchanged and you two should get together and live your sad lives. Maybe then we won’t have to read your stupid & immature posts. Go away.

^ almost forgot to add -MyGodBeatsYourGod. He can join you both.
