New Jaguar XF spied in Scandinavia.

Stunning new Jaguar XF caught in winter testing.

Our spies in Scandinavia have now captured shots of an early prototype of a “production-intent” Jaguar XF rolling around on the streets of northern Sweden and parking alongside its predecessor – the current Jaguary S-Type.

Aston-Martin will sue jagular now that they are not in the same ford family.

I know one thing: IT WILL BE BETTER THAN THE S-TYPE's.

Personally, I am not such an immense fan of the interior design of the XK. There just isn't enough wood for me. Compared to the DB9 it also feels like it lacks focus, for lack of better way to put it.

I have been pleasantly surprised before with the XK interior. I actually found myself liking the black interior with the ...poplar, I believe, wood. I would never purchase the car that way, but I did like it.

I admit to being very much about the interiors of cars. I believe car interiors should if designed correctly be described by a single word: beautiful. For this to be, there must be an overall simplicity to the design itself, the XK interior seems almost amorphous in a way. From what I have read about Ian Callum, he really does understand this. The XK exterior is most certainly an expression of this. One thing a admire, believe it or not, about the current XJ range is that there is a simple form to the dash, which unfortunately did not translate to the door panels. I just hope this vision of classical beauty as a function simple fundamental forms translates into the interior of the new XJ, which I would think would be the case. The interesting use of glass being suggested would necessitate that I would think.

cdoke, I agree, in a way. Although there is an immense amount of wood on the dash of the XK, there is none on the doors, and unlike the exterior, the interior's Jaguar-ness has been compromised by its modernity. I didn't love it when I first saw it, and I don't now, but just because it's not similar to other Jags doesn't mean it's not a well-designed interior. I would be happy owning one, especially the XKR.

To sum up: interior looks more German than British.

S4, whilst I do respect your opinion, I must humbly disagree with the assessment than there are "immense" amounts of wood in the XK. I simply cannot agree. No wood on the doors is pretty prototypical of even the previous XK. Perhaps the reason I say this is the actual segmented form of the wood.

Another thing; I think Jaguar should start using a satin polish on their darker woods. I noticed this whilst polishing my coffee table. It is Henredon and has a fish scale sort of pattern inlay in the top [and weights between 350-400 lbs. - I swear to god it is carved out of a single tree trunk] and when using a reflective polish it destroys the beauty of the wood by losing the graining in the reflection.

Thinking about it...Aston Martin does this; their mahogany is satin finished...hm...

I can't wait! This is their real comeback car, and they can't get it out fast enough. It appears to be almost as sexy as the concept... go Jag!

Any new Jag will be better than the ones they replace. IT's time that Jaguar gets a new style and this new XF has a style that consumers who like the contemporary look. The S-Type & X-Type both are very very out dated.
