Have to agree on the Volvo front....

I really like it, but I'm still waiting for the dealers to get them in to see it in the metal. Especially from the back.

It's a little bit aggressive perhaps and the original was a design icon, but things have to move on. I think the new range is shaping up very well.

I hope to be able to get one (only if I would have to part away with my 75)

I saw one in the flesh just before Xmas, before you say I don't think so manufacturers do run there cars around here before the offical launch. Back to my point not as sweet as the XF.
I do like the older shape and will all aluminium body very light for such a larger car.

It's quite like the XF. I like it. I love the classic Jag styles, especially the old 70's Coupes

, but, realistically, the likes of Jaguar isn't able to rely on sales of "retro-look" cars to survive. They, like everyone else, have to move on and give people something that looks like you've spent a wad of cash on it.

IMHO, of course.

I was thinking the front was a bit Volvo like but the who owns Volvo & who has just sold Jaguar?

I think MG-Rover were trying to head this way when they brought the facelifts with the budget they had...

Wasn't something like this being prepared for the 75? (I stand to be corrected) Definetly would have been nice

Most of Interior is straight out of the XF by the look of it. (which I do happen to like a lot)
