I saw it at the Frankfurt motor show and didn't rate it that much. Was quite big in the flesh.

Surely some of the underpinnings will be common to other JLR products - aren't those the types of efficiencies that are key to a successful business model these days?? I have to say, I think it looks pretty good, in-fact I really like recent Jaguar's |

It looks like a podgy overweight estate. Travelling around in circles again. |

If Bentley can produce a 4x4 (launches in 2016), then why couldn't Aston - ok, apart from the fact that they need a properly resourced long-term investment and development strategy |

Years ago when jags were jags, there was no diesel model, or an estate, apart from a few one offs, and then they suddenly became mondeos. However the TATA parent company addressed all the problems that the new models might have had. Perhaps that was just modern design anyway. Now the name is not really attributing to its heritage.

A Land Rover product has to cut it off road , a Jaguar 4x4 doesn't = cheeper to develop +another market segment covered .

I like the look of it. Not as nice as the XJ, which is gorgeous, but nice.

I have seen it and I would take it over an Evoque or Disco Sport and definately anything from the Far East. I don't think we should knock Jag/Land Rover for producing new innovative cars as you do not have to buy them. |

Smaller cars help the other all C02 targets they have to meet that's why Aston has the Iq thingy
