| I might be the only one but I love the look of the new XJ. The previous design - while a classic - was 30 years old and a bit stuffy so they had to go somewhere new and bold. |

Registered 17 years agoI loved the old design, but I will concede that an update was probably needed. I would have preferred something retro-modern if that makes sense. This looks a bit bland and un-Jag. -

Registered 17 years agoI honestly don't mind the style of the XF its just not a Jag. If for instance Nissan produced a car that looked exaclty like that I would say it was a good looking car. For a Jag though it does not have enough character. -

Registered 19 years agoBut but but but but - the old Jag's classic looks IMHO were coming from the 60s/70s roud upright headlights. It was a derivative of 20/30s era cars, again coming from horse carriages. The same with Mercedes, going from the traditional upright lights - to upright square lights (boxy, etc., ) and then to the same sleeked back look.
virtually all manufacturers have moved from the upright round lights look including BMW (e.g., E30 era or earlier) - but the older look will always be "classic" because it derives from classic 20s-era cars. Rolls still have them to an extent, because it conveys that classic horse-carriage image. -

Registered 17 years agoI think I might feel a bit self conscious riding that. It may also look like you are trying to bugger a big cat who is trying to get away from you as fast as it can. -

It certainly looks like he's "Riding" the Jaguar, though maybe not how it was intended.
One small slip and it looks like you could lose your bollocks on the back wheel. -

Registered 17 years agoInteresting riding position. His legs are stupidly far back and it looks like virtually all of his weight is on his wrists. I would imagine doing any distance on that would be some what painful. -

That looks like a badly pimped Rover. Bad move, Jaguar, bad move. -

Registered 17 years agoFamed automotive designer Gordon Murray, of the McClaren F1 has today unveiled his new car.
Like the F1 it features a 1+2 seating position, but weighs less than 1/2 of the McClaren @ 550kg.
But....

Registered 17 years agoI would say thats actually a pretty good design for what it is. It's much better looking than a gee whiz for example which would be the market they are aiming at.

Registered 17 years agoYeah maybe the thread needs renaming. Posting a new car in the ugly cars thread certainly sets a slightly incorrect expectation for discussion. I suggest "Cars" as the new title. -

Registered 15 years agoThat Elite looks great and being a Lotus, it will drive brilliantly as well. Apparently, it uses the same Toyota 5.0 liter V8 engine as the Lexus LFA supercar. Nice.
Slightly worried that Lotus is taking a risk with this - all their recent success has been from small, light, and relatively inexpensive cars. Let's hope this one proves to be a success. -

Registered 12 years agoThat Lotus is very pretty but it's very pretty because the design phase apparently consisted of half an hour with an Aston Martin brochure and a sheet of tracing paper.
Edit: They took the nose from the Honda S2000 just to try and throw you off the scent. -

Registered 17 years agoI do think that modern cars are too curvy these days. It just gets a bit boring after a while and every car starts to merge into the last one.
What we need is a return to Countash-style angles and giant spoilers! -
Its a bit of a weird change of direction, going from reasonably affordable, lightweight rockets to big ferrari alikes.
