Like you mentioned, this is a great example of the end of the classic Jaguar styling and sadly the beginning of brand homogenization to market to those want to say they own a Jag, but have no connection to the heart and soul of the brand and the product. A sad story all too common which is why I have such an interest in and admiration and appreciation for what you do in your work and with this channel. You have a passion for these cars that really shines through. 👍🙏
I know, it's like they want everyone driving the same looking car! lol. It wouldn't be so bad if the XE, XF and XJ all didn't look about identical aside from the size.
100% agree, this is the body style Jag should have never retired. New ones to me look like a Kia or something. I wonder if Jag would consider making this body style with a electric motor, then again they probably won’t give it to us with that sumptuous interior.
I owned one of these and while they are beautiful and a great Clarion stereo and powerful they cost a fortune to maintain as the miles go up towards 60,000…70,000…80,000 and look out! I sold mine and bought a Lexus.
If only you woulda let that car get ahead of you just a few seconds longer, you could of shown off the vehicles acceleration skills a bit like a jag should, impressively...

I know, they all seem to look alike! I love the freshened up front bumpers on the 08 models.
BEAUTIFUL CAR ! Would love to have it.
Thanks!

True, this one only has 23,000 miles and absolutely amazing!
