It looks good, easily much better than the lardy 7 Series and it will probably be much lighter and go like stink too....

I hope they look different enough. I dont want the XJ to be just a bigger XF. I think Jaguar will pull through. Recently they have done well with design.

What the hell is going on with the back third? The c-pillar and tail lights are horrendous. The hood lines look way too busy and do we really need another fake brake cooling vent? It's really not terrible, but the XF looks more resolved, I hope this is just an early guess, not an official release from Tata.

Exactly what you said.^

The 'chop is too busy, and I'm not digging the Citroen-esque C-pillar.

I do have high hopes for this model though, because I trust Ian Callum's design direction.

I do like the look other than the tails wrapping around into the trunk lid. It does look awfully similar to the XF though.

I hope it turns out to be better then this rendering. The taillights are innovative but
it DOESN'T look good.
I'm also hoping to catch a glimpse of the old XJ in the new design. That design is so old yet so classy.

The front-end looks like the one from XF. I don't like the back though. Let's the what they actually come out with. I think XF is a success.
