Saw this on Autocar's site earlier. I really want to like it, but it's a bit generic, not shouting Jag, could easily be Japanese.

The rear is quite nice.

At least the exterior detailing is much much sharper than the current Jags, particularly the XK and XF. I think it really lets them down (unfortunately LR/RR are kinda going down the same path). That new XKR-S special is particularly awful.

Wow great looking car

the front end reminds me Nissan 350Z or whatever it's called. Back is nice and interior is nice. Not as charmy as XJS used to be.

Pic 1: Jaguar, apart from front lights/radiator/bumper, which are Nissan, 370Z plus a bit of new GT-R.

Pic 2: A bit Aston towards the rear.

Pic 4: Giulietta rear lights, crossfire rear window, quad exhausts are OTT.

Pic 9: Looks like a Jag from a good distance.
