But anyway, I'd reserve judgment prior to test driving the actual vehicle. From the style (besides the ugly front) and the interesting gimmicks, I'm sure it'll sell. Performance and quality most likely won't be as good as the japs or germans but a Jag is all about emotion. That's why even if it costs more than the rivals, people will still buy it.

Could be a huge success. I don't care which country's corporation owns the company, to me it will always be a English/British brand. The S-type looked similar to previous generation Hyundai Sonata.

Get your facts right and use your brain before you come up with retarded, illogical comments like that you fucking moron ! I don't see any facts in any of your statements. Just moronic opinions. I saw this car at the LA auto show and I compared it visually to the E-class, 5 series and gs-350. This car compared very favorably. Its weakest part is the front. They need to change the headlights and maybe decrease the size of the front grill. Everything else was gorgeous. I didn't get to see the interior, but from the internet pictures, it should be just as good if not better than the other cars (I hate the BMW interior) I'm waiting for the test drive reviews to fully pass judgement regarding performance. By the way, those finely built german cars have been spending a lot of time at repair shops. Have you seen JD Powers and consumer reports rankings? Jaguar was above Mercedes and right behind BMW.

There is a review on this car. It's at: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=123464?tid=edmunds.il.home.photopanel..1.* At the end it says: "We're not allowed to talk about anything to do with driving this prototype, but let's just put it this way — it wasn't just the designers who had fun here. But don't fret. The 2009 Jaguar XF is worth waiting for. It's going to be big." It seems that the folks at Edmunds rather liked the ride they went for in the new XF. I guess I was impressed with the XF as they were. I stand corrected. There is a review on this car. It’s at:

Nice of you to dip into the wonderful vocabulary of offensive language and name calling. That really shows how much smarter you are than I. Anyway, for your information, I have looked at the competition of the XF. I helped my girlfriend look at several luxary sport sedans (including BMW, Infiniti, Acura, and Mercedes) before she chose a Lexus. All very nice cars. I used to dislike imports, but by actually looking at them, I realized how nice they are. I looked at the XF at the International Auto Show, too! It too is a nice car. LP640, have you seen the car in person? You failed to answer that question of mine. Even my girlfriend was impressed by it and she owns a new Lexus! She doesn't care for Ford either. What amazed me was the sound system in the XF! It's quite impressive! I don't want to start name calling, but when anyone comes on here with a "this car is crap" statement, they better have evidence to back it up. By the way, saying it's crap because it is affiliated with Ford is not a legitimate argument in my mind. If you have seen the car in person and saw the quality flaws for yourself, then go ahead and say it sucks, but give your evidence of why. Oh, LP640, you told me to "Get your facts right." Maybe you could give me those facts. Where are you getting them from? This car was unveiled a month ago. Where are the reviews you got your facts from? Okay, LP640.

The S-type was too ugly. The XF will be a solid base to build the company on. Now all Jaguar needs is a little money to upgrade the components and engine.

He is probably right about it. Jaguar is a victim of Ford and the car even looks a little like a Volvo - another company Ford raped.
