There is a jag-lovers web site and the x type forum has contributors who are unhappy about certain problems with their particular vehicle but lots and lots of people who are extremely happy and would/ hopefully will buy again. It would be interesting to hear the credentials of the critics! Other vehicles share floor pans and components indeed it seems difficult to find a vehicle in the X type sector which does not have some sharing - SAAB's are Vectra's!! - still seem to have an enthusiastic following but for some reason Jaguar must have every car as a stand alone sharing nothing - get real they are in a very very competitive market.

It was bad because... it was bad. Upgraded sedans can work; the Lexus ES and Acura TL are perfectly competitive. It should work for Jaguar too because they don't emphasize sport over luxury. Try again, Jaguar. I don’t even think it was bad for being an upgraded Mondeo. It was bad because… it was bad. Upgraded sedans can work; the Lexus ES and Acura TL are perfectly competitive.

It failed because it was an upgraded Ford Mondeo. Jaguar can't afford to alienate its traditional customers. The X-Type did not fail for being a sedan.
