so i saw this picture on the main page and im pretty sure its from an official jaguar press release. anyway, what exactly are they implying here? it looks like this car is drifting. well whatever, thought it was kinda strange.

the car is oversteering, something already discussed here
not exactly the same car, but same kind of product, same photoshoot and so on.
I actually can't see the problem of an XF oversteering since they released images of that even when the car was unveiled just with the regular engines.
see link (much better than a huge image in the post ruining the page layout or preventing users with the old 56k connection to see in an acceptable time. that or use the attachment)

except the linked pic seems to be on a skidpad, which is probably at a closed facility....

At anyrate, good pics...

Now it seems that every big time car maker is sucking designs in order to cheaper the cost and show no other then the interior and the "major" changes and the "oh Ahhhh" of what they call design.
Subaru Legacy totaly!!! Shame on your Brits!

I think I vaguely understood what you wrote, need you to explain/elaborate.
apart from the fact that I don't have something to complain about modern Jaguars' look or technical design.

I didn't understand anything...

Concerning Jaguar's modern design, it looks a bit Lexusish but it's good. And the interior is superb.

I suppose he is complaining about the fact a lot of cars look just flashy and showy trying to hide the lack of real features and such.
maybe.
or something.

Well can't see anything fundamentally wrong with this car.

The only two faults that I can think of are the lack of a manual and that it's a bit overweight.

By the way, to stay on topic, I think the oversteer pics are very Jaguarish.

I like the design.
And the interior is definitely superb.
And It's got a nice amount of gadgets

true, perhaps I would like to see a large displacement NA engine, but I'm fine with the supercharged one especially if it sounds as the old Rs.

Wouldn't it be nice if they made a V12 engine again?

that's what I was thinking of.
and perhaps even a new XJ220 (with the right engine this time)

Don't fret about the XJ220, there's always the XJR-15.

too racing oriented, and I think the XJ220 looks much better.
