Jaguar XF

(1/3) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
I saw a new Jaguar XF on Tuesday in Rothwell (between Wakefield & Leeds)

What a striking car it is, if a little bit like the posher brother of the (current model) Mondeo


Managed to have a bit of a browse at it, looks quite good inside too, but the Ford influence shows on the dash, bt even more so in profile.

ben_haynes:
yes i just had a look on the web site and the dash is exactly the same as the Mondeo, same steering wheel and Instrument cluster every thing, i like jaguars but im not keen on fords,

thermidorthelobster:
I can't really see it as a Jaguar.  From the front it looks like something nameless and American.  The grille has a hint of Skoda.  The side profile can't decide whether to be BMW, Skoda, Lexus or Volvo.  Obviously all cars are going to be derivative to an extent, but surely deriving the look from Jag's own cars would have been better than morphing together something from all of their competitors?

discowoman:
Mondeo executive ;)
Good old Ford -why make 2 when 1 will do.....bit like the NEW XK and the DB7...same car - different badge (even if they say its 100% different)

Though not quite as obvious as the front-view of the Bentley GT & the Octavia/Superb (mindst you, both vehicles had the same designer)
