As a previous Jag owner, very disappointing.

The interior has nice touches but the exterior is a bland, watered-down version of the XF Showcar.

I saw that in the flesh, up close at the Geneva Motor Show and that looked VERY, VERY good. Nicely agressive. Distinct.

They have gone all safe on the production model. Bland, no balls. At a time when they need to stamp out a real head turner.

They didn't do that over 50 years ago when they introduced the E-Type. They fucked-up big style by ditching the F-Type roadster a few years back to concentrate on the X-Type Estates etc. The F-Type would have sold.

Will have to wait to see the production XF on the road. Won't persuade me back to the fold, though.
