Jaguar dealers attending the launch of the 2007 Jaguar XKR were also given a sneak preview of the new S-Type, according to a report by ITV Motoring. The car is said to be 12 months away from its first public showing, and 18 months for appearing on showroom floors. Jaguar has reportedly moved away from the semi-retro look, and created a coupe-like four-door sedan with “a high-decked boot sweeping forward into a wedge shape.” The car is “totally different” from other Jags, one dealer said. “It rewrites the Jaguar styling book.” Earlier this week, a published report confirmed Jaguar would use steel construction for the new S-Type. While no further details have emerged, we wouldn’t be surprised to see artist’s renderings and leaked sketches showing up in the near future.
