How close in effect it will be to the concept cxf show car with its rings that spin, and raise the gear selector up, and than lower it as the car shuts down is unsure, but does anyone else besdes me think jaguars biggest problem is its parent company? jaguar could be alot more than what is now if it would have done a better job with vehicles the concept cls was desighned because jaguar was "thought" to be a threat to mercedes now years later they have dont nothing at all. Now they are masking old hardware with a new body, an interior that looks poor in spy shots and a glitzy shifter.....doesnt sound like a formula for success, jaguar should be a company that is somewhere between mercedes/bmw/lexus and cars like maserati/bentley/aston martin, not between lincoln and the german companies
