    Fun fact, when you said you weren’t impressed with rear and lights didn’t make it that special. I agree in certain way, however the lights are where they are as when designed they were meant to look like a cat jumping on back or car, then the lights represents the cat claws!

    I watching this Video from Arizona. I was at Arrowhead mall in Glendale az one day and as I was approaching Macy's and I noticed this car XJL unloading passengers in
    front of the Mall. I was about 20 ft away and the site of the car took my breath away as it was so long and very white. It was the most elegant car I had ever seen. The
    problem I had was what the hell was the make of the car? I finally found out it was an XJL I think the (L) is for large. I'm now looking at Craig's list and there is one in
    Scottsdale AZ. The XJS Portfollo with the V6 engine in silver for $20.000. I will check it out. Do you think "The Sain"t (Roger Moore) would have approve? BTW it was a
    little difficult to understand you guys talking as your British accent is so thick. Is everyone in Britain a Governor . I say Governor. Bloody alright. Did the British Navy really
    sink the Bismark? Is Terry Thomas a National Hero. One more thing. I think Queen Elizabeth will easily live to be 200 years old. What a cush job she has.

If I were to buy Indian Oil Corp, it wouldn't become British Oil Corp overnight. Think about it... It would just be (such person, from place irrelevant) owns Indian Oil Corp.

Now maybe you guys grew up on the shity side of London and never got to experience true British luxury but I have to say this is a Toyota Camry with fancy headlights. Gone are the rounded individual headlamps in favor of one mounted piece gone are the cat like wheel wells that look like the car is about to pounce on a poor wounded animal searching for a watering hole. The sleek lines, the low stance and the epitome British understated Elegance for this worn-out bar of soap. You should all be ashamed to even attempt to link yourself with the British empire empire that once never saw a sunset. It's a jaguar? Now what a damn fool. No sir it's a worn-out bar of soap.

      @@GuysThatDrive my favorite British Jag is every Jag that actually has Jaguar DNA. Meaning of a Jaguar that evolves with time and not massive corporate buyouts. This Jaguar doesn't look anything like a jaguar. Say what you will about other buyouts at least they kept the design with continuity and evolution in mind. It's like they took the brand and redeveloped without any care for past jaguars. There is nothing about this car that makes me think yeah that's a jaguar like at all. Take Cadillac for example. He'll at least they kept the angular design showing off the sharp lines and angular proportions of tail lights and headlights. At least Rolls-Royce has kept the old world coach building intact. You know it's a rolls. Just that but the proportions are odd not just in the shape but the roof line the tail lights the headlamps hell even the grill frankly this Jaguar it's underwhelming to look at and over proportioned, it's sad to see.
