2009 Concours Weekend Gallery Photos Kickoff With USA Launch Of New Jaguar XJ

Maybe it looks better in person but still not a fan of the second half of the car.

The "second halve" of the car is beginning to grow on me.

Guys as always, I know you are out there enjoying mingling with the well to do's, but again, thanks for bringing us the images for us to see.



The XJ is awesome in details. Look at the surfaces inside. The steering wheel is covered completely in leather. Even the centre surround has beautiful detailing and the leaping cat centered on the wheel. Buttons with chrome surround and plastics looks polished. Side buttons for seating adjustments also have chrome surround (you don't really have that kind of attention there because no one really cares) This XJ looks the part (Vanden Plas)?
Side panels where leather would sit on the doors, instead, large sections of wood and leather covering the upper section of the doors. Jag realize it has to raise the bar and the interior layout has done just that. Audi's A8 will have to pull out all the stops to top this.

The Jag looks great, save the cheap-looking blacked-out aft pillar, but I could do without having to see the 'overly plasticized' faces of those two women in the last pic - YUCK!

Nice legs.The cat symbol on the back is hugeee lol. Hands down this car murders the 7 series and S-class (looks wise).BTW I did see the new 7 on the street today and it does look much better on the street than when i saw it in the showroom or in pictures. Maybe because it was in a lighter color.

The rear of the car is very awkward and i don't think even seeing in person would make it better especially the portion of tail lamps which go up. Overall Car is fine, sharp profile but if you look at individual angles and parts then they are not very stylish or sleek. Interior is stunning though.

JUGNU

I think you'll have to see this one in person in order to evaluate it fairly. Remember when the early pics of the XK were released and everyone thought it looked too much like a Taurus? I've heard from a few who have seen it that it is absolutely stunning.

What recession?

Where the hell is David Hasselhoff ?

Guess they didn't let him in this time. Good thing because the pictures of the Hoff at the London launch where embarrassing enough for Jaguar.

Apparently he couldn't make it, he was attending a drunken hamburger eating party with JCVD and Chuck Norris at Steven Seagle's place.

Next time maybe.

Mitchell -

Did you know all the Swiss replica watches come from Korea and China?

It's the same with cars.

The only thing Mitchell know (or believe) is that the earth is flat and is turning around the Lexus planet.

But remember' he's mentally disabled, so don't be too rude at him.

Still don't really like the C pillar design. On lighter color cars it looks odd.

Positive side, I'm glad some rich people are able to get together and get some free food and drinks.

The rich never pay.

The rich never pay.

I'm a huge Lexus fan that admires BMW and Mercedes, but this car, to me, is beautiful Not quite sure why I'm captured the way I am but I'm caught...It's very vintage, clean but rugged and masculine.

Butt-ugly. Front is what the XF should've looked like.

she's got legs and she knows how to use them

Just add the Jaguar ornament back to the front of the car and it will be perfecto!

The rear and C-pillar look awkward. But other than that, it looks good. Will be exciting to see it go head to head with the new 7 and the S class.
