It would have been nice to leave some of the "Jaguar" Characteristics on the car to carry on the tradition.

i agree to some extent but the fact is that Jaguar was losing sales for a while now just because for the same amount of money that Jags cost, there were simply better choices out there. its true that they shouldn't have killed their unique features and have integrated them into their new design though.

i can go to another level and say that they might plan to bring their retro look back sometime later in the future like the chevy camaro but that doesn't seem likely as they're trying to establish this look as the 'New Jaguar' and they're expecting people to live with it. i don't know about the rest of the world but it seems to be working here in the Middle East as i see alot more Jags on the streets now (the XF especially)

I really, really like this car.
