I'm looking forward to the
I'm looking forward to the test drive by the various magazines to see how this fairs with the others. I've seen this car driving around and if I'm honest it didn't wow me that much. the rear end seems very short and it doesn't seem to complement the long front. if it was maybe about 4 inch longer then it would have looked good.
technically with all the aluminium it didn't seem to offer the weight advantage that one would have expected, personally i expected at least 150 to 200kg weight saving and substantial increase in engine economy but the only thing going for this is the appeal and driver dynamics. My only criticism is that Jag didn't offer an estate version at the same time of launching the XE and i feel its a big mistake. The XF estate is proving quite popular in UK and personally it's a lot better looking than the saloon, with a sports body kit its even better. I think they had a perfect recipe here with the XE to bank on young owners who have a growing family and would like an estate that's quite unique. for whatever reason Jag management feel there isn't a big enough demand to justify spending money to make an estate. pity... lets hope that changes
