Introduced in 2000, the Jaguar X-Type has been the subject of much criticism in the automotive community. Many onlookers have criticized the down-market sedan for diluting the Jaguar brand and not upholding the traditional characteristics of a Jag. Over the past year, there have been rumors that Jaguar might not introduce a second-generation X-Type when the current model goes out of production. A new report by Motor Trend suggests that the end of the line for the X-Type in the United States could come as early as this year. Sources cited by the magazine say a decision has already been reached, and U.S. sales will cease at the end of the year. Another source said the company is undecided on the future of the X-Type in Britain. Recently, we reported that Jaguar was considering an X-Type replacement for 2010, but no plans had been set. It was also reported that Jaguar was working on a completely re-bodied XJ for 2008 or 2009.
