I'm not keen, I agree that it has lost it Jaguariness, it doesn't look svelte and ellgant anymore, it looks ungainly and slightly at odds with it's self ...but the interior is nice.
I went to the launch event in Coventry for the XJ last year, posted a thread up about it actually.
I’ve always been a big fan of the Jaguar XJ, and this one does not do it for me. I only got rid of mine as I really wanted an E39 540i and the Jag was in reality, a bit too soft for me. I'll probably have another Jag at some point though, probably not an XJ though ...unless I get an older one.
