What do we think then? Pretty or fugly? And more important, is it good donor material?



I ask because I'm trying to decide between this and the merc S-class. Obviously!

Looks like an E classs to me

It looks like the designers couldn't make up their minds...

Bits of it look very nice, but the bits don't look so good when put together... it looks like an American attempt at a fast saloon.

yeah, not bad... better than the last one i think. the old one looked a bit like a hyundai coupe i though

back looks brill but the front looks too much like the XF or like a sporty saloon. XJs are meant to be big, pompous and traditional!!!!

i think it looks great from the side. not so keen on the front...

Like the front, not keen on the back....

The Jag? It's alright *cough*mondeo*cough cough*

Mind you that's not a bad thing...

not the merc, the build quality is shocking.
suspension mounts rust through easily.

Mr clarkson slated them too, not that it makes a difference

That's where most of them are sold.

All I can say is don't judge it from the pictures. Wait till you see it on the road. Its stunning. I was unsure about the back end until I saw it in the 'flesh'. Stunning is an understatement...

I saw one on the road a few days ago, the pictures don't do it justice, it's a fantastic looking car

Cheers

I wasn't convinced initially but I've got to say, it's really grown on me.
