These are teh same pics in this months car and driver. It looks okay. Im no too impressed with the shifter or the vents which are both supposed to be revolutionary.

ahh its alright. Replace the AC vents with normal ones for God's sake, what's the meaning of covering them like that?

So this one is doing the ugly thing of BMW and MB for not having a gear nob? Its ugly not having a gear nob.

It also looks like a Buick from the side head lights.

Looks like a Dodge Stratus on the exterior and something Lincoln would come up with on the interior. Overall, looks like it took a step back to America, ca. 2005.

I honestly don't like that side picture- I think it is ugly. The front is sufficiently aggressiveI acutally like it.

I LOVE the covered vents. Jaguar has always been about a certain level of simplicity and ancompasing the the elements within a master design. I love it in that it lends visual simplicity to the interior. I don't like aluminium in car, however.

Jaguar's line up has been upsetting after the old Xk8 left the scene, It was renovated into a non luxury exterior looking car that more resembled its big brothers factory (ford). (although im not claiming that ford has more prestegious roots to make it a bigger brother). I hope Jag gets back to its sexy self like with the Xj8 or XJS.

bad job jaguar, this looks like a revised lexus gs, not a good thing. they moved to far from the concept the lights are smaller, the grill is to. it looks long, and ackward. it doesnt look unique enough to be a Jaguar. the interior would have been nice in a Lincoln, but poor job for a jaguar, and a car this expensive..good luck, and what a let down

Actually, I heard the aircon vents slide open when you turn on the car. It sort of reminds me of the E34 BMW 5-series. Everything looks just right. No extreme hard edge angles like the current 5. The side photo isn't the greatest angle. I'll bet it looks alot like the XK from the front but I'd have to see it for myself. Not sure but this would probably be my pick of the midsize luxury sedan segment. This or a Lexus GS. Sorry, I'm not into hard edge extreme design. I'm more into well designed and classy. Too much plastic in todays bimmer exteriors.

Its not bad... the interior and the side look real nice. I hope the front looks a bit better in real life. It's not that it looks bad, it just doesn't look good...

Just when you think this new Jaguar XF is going to save Jaguar. But what a big disspointment it turn out to be, it HIDEOUS....compare to the concept one.

I think I stick with the Lexus GS instead of this when I'm in the market for one. It interior look just like a Lincoln interior, side view look like a Buick.

After all the hype and big announcement and getting everyone excited about Jaguar again, than come this fugly car.

Well good luck Jaguar trying to persuade Lexus, BMW, Infiniti, Acura, Audi, and MB customers to this XF.

Thats exactly right! I bet the XF will be stunning in the flesh. Can't wait to see the 5.0L XFRR with 500bhp!

Just look at it interior and than look at the Lincoln MKZ, it identical.

jagexfart;) but lately Jaguar had NOT bring out anything stunning or beautiful. And what it dam V8 engine? isn't time for a new one already? Almost every brands in this has car that has 450 hp to 500+ hp, except for Jaguar that is. You need to stop living in the past jagfart, there more competition now than in the past. And heritage alone will NOT sales your cars. You need realibility, quality, tecnho, and all of crazy and fansasy thing, got the drift? good....

And I'm talking about now, not in the past you know, so stop mentioning past car. Or at least they should be in the process of making better and more powerful engine.

I don't know what all of you guys are smoking, but I think this Jaguar looks great. The rear is nice with the Audi A5 look alike tailights. However, it is LED lights. The headlights look pretty good to me too. Might not be as good as the concept but I can definitely see the resemblance. It's just not as swoopy, but it's pretty nice considering the headlights of the s-type and x-type. It has more flair to it.

http://www.caradisiac.com/media/images/le_mag/mag253/mercedes-s350-audi-a8-05big.jpg. even the placement of the hazard light is the same. the a8 interior is great, but why would jaguar copy anyone in making a new car

In the interior photo it looks like the XF uses the same steering wheel that is in the XK. If you look closely can you see paddle shifters behind the steering wheel? Can anyone confirm this?

Jeeze, CALM DOWN! You haven't even seen this car in real life yet! These pictures have terrible quality! And you know what? I think every one of the people on this site who are bashing it now will love it when they see it. Just like the XK.

I agree on all of your point. You clearly know a thing or two about Jaguar heritage and design. I didn't like the XK either - sure it looked good - because much of the Jaguar spirit has been lost. I think it is a bit of a cheap move of Jaguar, in order to bump sales, make it look like Aston Martin. A Jag SHOULD NOT LOOK LIKE AN ASTON BUT LIKE A JAG! God that pisses me off. I want to shoot Ian Callum in the head. But first I will kill that methodist who ruined my other favorite brand.

X-type: it's a Ford Mondeo
X-type estate: you really want to hear this?
S-type: it looks horrid
XK: looks too much like an Aston, not like a Jag
XJ: still very Jaguar but I prefer the older model
and now this XF.. :(

Wow! Jaguar really messed up the XF. When i first saw pictures of the Concept, i knew the XF would be the most beautifully styled car on the road. These pictures show that they have took all of the aggression out of the vehicle to make the side profile resemble an Acura TL.

I have never truly been a fan of Jaguar but I must say In the past, the Jaguar design spoke elegance and prestige. This new look speeks of sportiness and un-originality.

I say release the concept as-is and stop trying to "play-it-safe." What does Jaguar have to lose?

Well I wish they could have gone with the concept lights. The grill is a little smaller then I would have liked. The interior hints at the concept cars in its basic structure. The reality is that Jag does not have the money to produce the concept. I'm sure Ford made them cut corners. Considering this I think Jaguar did a great job. Compared to the current model this one is way more adventerous and finally not retro. Jaguar, if it is to survive, must move away from its traditional look. This car clearly does this. It's not quite as graceful as the concept but I think its very attractive non the less.

Oh dear... this is bad, this is very bad.

Where is the Jaguar spirit in this car? What happened to those sexy light from the concept? Only the back looks good. Hell I don't even like the wheels or the interior.
The side looks too much like a GS from Lexus. Which then again looks like a BMW 5.

I have to see this thing in real life.

WHAT A WASTE of a beautiful concept car. With those headlights and grill combo it now looks like a BUICK!

well like a loyal fan i was praising jaguar at the beginning, but the more i see the car, the more it seems like someone at jaguar decided that they wanted to make the front end look retro, like the ones of buick, the hyundai elantra, or the prev gen sonata. About 45 degrees from the front the car looks very koreanish. Compared to the aggressive style of the cxf, or even the camouflaged front ends of the spyshots(which made this crappy headlamps the shape of the cxf ones), this headlamp completely ruins the whole car, i mean the car looks awesome from the back and from the side, but fromt 45 degree angle (from the corner of the front side) the car looks just hideous. The guys at jaguar who decided to make the headlamps should be fired, because other than the headlamps, the car looks simply great. Unless jaguar redesigns the headlamps soon, i guess it will be a lost cause for the well loved company from coventry. The design director for the front side should be fired.
