Jaguar C-XF








http://www.autoblog.com/photos/jaguar-c-xf-concept/

"...thanks to a 4.2-liter supercharged V8 producing 420 hp and 368 ft-lbs. of torque driving the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. The C-XF also showcases some new technology, including something called JaguarSense that allows certain functions in the cockpit to be activated with a gesture of the hand instead of the push of a button."

I think we all know this will never be made as its shown here, if anything by proof with the last sentance of that quote but none the less, its pretty sweet for a jag.

Jaguar has built some of the best looking, most original cars in automotive history.

That ain't one of 'em.

It's an Aston in the back and some third-world thing in the front. Not a good mix.

Looks the twisted offspring of an Aston Martin and an Audi.

I agree. Not that this is necessarilly a bad looking car - it just doesn't scream Jaguar at me.

I wonder what waiving the middle finger will do.

I like it.

I'd most likely never buy one, but I like the way it looks.

it's a little odd, but I don't hate it.
