It looks much better than Infiniti M!

God I hope Not! It looks like an early 90’s “concept car”. Also kind of has a Lexus GS look.

Looks like a Luscerne.

I think everything look good except the grill. That grill is barftastic!

Ford Taurus with a body kit.

Oh, no. Please don’t!

taurus

I see a little bit of a tiburon and taurus in the design…this is the second to take design cues from the taurus…the first was the xk

’tis the bastard child of dodge and maserati

It’s what happens when you cross the front of a Camry with the back of a Grand Prix, then add a grill from a weber BBQ. If you can get past all of that, then it’s only merely ugly.

I wouldn’t want one, but maybe somebody else might…

That is just god awful. if thats how its going to look, then jaguar quite frankly can kiss my ass.

Hyundai, Buick, Pontiac, maybe…
Jaguar? Could’a fooled me!

Uh, not in a million years would JAG sell such a unclassy, unsofisticated, and just plain ugly car. That Asian-American design in the picture would cause even Hyundai and Ford to hurl. If JAG wants to survive, that car can only be a 15-year-olds imagination and nothing more.

It needs the badass silver Jaguar leaping from the hood!

I am still waiting to see the final product….It kills me with these posts on how OH JAGUAR IS SCREWING UP blah blah blah….these are artists IMPRESSIONS, which usually are never like the real deal. Jaguar however does need this S-Type to be a success I feel in order to stay alive in the marketplace

Make a small 4dr coupe, stlyed after the XK, sell it at the current price and they would have a hit.

I liked this artists impression much better….

They make that and Ford is simply saying: You know on second thought, instead of selling Jaguar, we’re going to bury it!

Jon.

I don’t like the grill. It doesn’t totally fit with the headlights. But this is much better than the current. Awesome, just make the rest of your offerings like this and Jaguar will be back on the right track

Response to Jon.
Yeah, they want to make sure who ever they sell Jag too isn’t going to have a succesful product. They don’t want competition to Lincoln.

i think this may be the 6000 SUX come to life . . . . you be the judge

to me the side looks like a Gran Prix,the front looks like that one chrysler sedan

I hope Ford sells Jaguar, so that a future owner will design world class cars. This thing is fugly.

Profile looks just like a Buick LaCrosse.

lol looks like 02 toyota camry. down with jag and their terriable reliability anyway.
british piece.
if you want a piece of british engineering, get a bentley.

This car would look great with the grille from the XK series.

Do I hear a Hyundai on streoids and a west coast customs makeover?

This isn’t real, folks – it’s a poor quality computer rendering, using the rear of the new XK and some made-up front end. This has come out of the mind of a graphic designer, not a car designer. The new S-type will not look like this. In fact, no-one but some Jaguar employees konw what it will look like.

hopefully not it looks like crap

Just like the XK looks like the Ford Taurus…this car looks like the 2006 Ford Taurus-based S-Type by Jaguar.

Must be a joke, right?

wont save jaguar, hardly anything will now. a dying brand unfortunately, especially since its not even supposed to be on a brand new platform, something it desperately needs

It looks like a Maserati Quattroporte.

looks like a kia amanti

Nice Hyundai Tiburon!

no no no its auto express latest mock up of the new 2007 model modeo – can any one believe what sh1t they come out with FFS

a jag never

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
go away you freak think!!!
go to your planet!!!

Hyundai? Kia? Taurus? You Americans are on tons of cheap crack, pull your fingers out of your cousins’ asses and actually LOOK at the thing, don’t merely glance – it’s a 100% pure Jaguar.

Good God people – a Buick? Cut that **** out. I might be inclined to agree that perhaps a FLUSH side profile yeilds a hint at Pontiac, the Grand Prix particularly, but a Buick? Bull****…

Quattroporte? Well certainly aimed at a similar demographic, Maser is bigger but temperamental…

The nose-to-flank treatment is a little Lexus GS while the rest is pure Jaguar XK – The grille itself isn’t exactly hot, but Callum will sort something out, trust me…

Oh, and by the way Cole, you tit – it’s ‘Lucerne’

One last thing – all you wankers who put Jaguar down? That’s why they’re dying – they make some of the BEST rides on Earth and you tossers still buy Benz/BMW craporama, you can be ashamed of yourselves – I WOULD LOVE TO SEE GENERALLY MOTORS BUILD ANYTHING THIS COOL, but you know what, they can’t – they just don’t have the skill.

The XKR is the best vehicle in the world. I beg you to argue that with any amount of resolve.

So there.

Hey Cole – I must be a tit too – I spelled ‘yield’ wrong!

Har har har…

looks like they took the front grill from a bugatti

Am I the only one who thinks the Grill is totally HOTT!
But,the headlights are just totally cheap ass looking…

If this is the real thing, I think it’s gonna be a minor hit, but definitely not going to save the company. Keep in mind that the new MB E-class is coming out at about the same time…

The Jaguar badge and chrome line inside the grille looks out of place better remove it altogether. The grille should look like the RD6 concept car. As for the rest of the car, it looks like the Buick LaCrosse. Why can’t Jaguar take a look at Pininfarina’s Maserati Quattroporte sedan for inspiration in which the designers at Pininfarina managed to make the car look sexy with curve and not look too much a 90’s car.

The new S-type is a very revolution for Jag!!!
a mix of sedan-coupe

Hey Guttersludge, you blind pompous dirtbag, pull your head out of your ass! What’s pure jaguar about it? Aft of the front wheels it looks just like a Buick LaCrosse. See for yourself.

Hmmm.. Is That A Smaller Chrysler 300C Grill There That I See???

This image is obviously very crudely done but it claims to be based on descriptions made by those who have actually seen the official work, so I am still worried. The radiator grille came as no surprise, can’t have an S-TYPE without it, what’s truly disturbing is the headlamps. It looks rather asian, and I think the only thing worse than being compared to a Buick would be being compared to a Hyundai. I can’t see how anyone would get the idea that the new XK is a “homage” to the late Ford Taurus based on the shape of the grille. The oval is a modern (meaning less elegant) variation on the E-type grille, just like the taillights. Oh, and there is no resemblence whatsoever to the Maserati Quattroporte, except that they both have four wheels.
I sincerely hope that Jaguar does not screw it up, I would not want my favorite marque to end up in the hands of Renault. I have faith in Ian Callum (well, I lost some of it when I saw the new XKR, subtle modifications my ass), but this image still makes me worried.

It looks like a Pontiac Grand Prix and/or a Taurus from the side. Yuk.

I believe the real thing will still surprise us—like Morningstar, I have faith in Ian Callum. The proportions are probably wrong, the detailing right, when you think about how best one can describe a car. The dealers who have seen the S are impressed, so we can safely assume it will look better.
   Remember that the Jaguar needs to be forward-looking, so if it shocks us, then I believe that is a good thing—no more retromobiles, I say.
