Some readers have been sending us some questions about the new Jaguar XJ.

One important question that has been posed is the question of the possibility of an AWD platform for the new Jag XJ?

The XJ has never been offered with AWD but its competitors such as BMW, Audi , and Mercedes-Benz all offer AWD upscale luxury sedans.

Jaguar is going down hill very quickly... for example, the XJ is nothing more than XF dressed up a bit. The old Jags had class, the new ones don't.

The old Jag's class is what almost put Jaguar under. They're done producing cars that people admire. That want to produce cars that people actually want to buy.

That's idiotic. The XF is a body on frame and the XJ is 100% aluminum monocoque construction. More advanced that Audi or Merc

sector,
In your eyes maybe, but based on JD Power results and what the rest of the automotive press has to say the future of Jaguar looks bright. Before passing judgement on the new 2010 XJ you really should wait and see one in person. It is no where near an XF dressed up, especially the interoir.

I'm sure they'll make an AWD version. Just let people show any interest at all first. That will let Jaguar that they can expand their offerings.

I think that Jaguar has really stepped up to the plate. The XF is a success so as the XK's.

IS there any palns for a SUV or crossover in the Jaguar lineup? After seeing the last 2 models I am intrigued to see what they would do to a SUV.

I was talking mainly about the exterior and interior styling not the mechanics. I do not like the styling of Land Rovers.

Both Jaguar and Land Rover are basically the same Company. If Jaguar ever made an SUV do u think it would hinder Land Rover?
