yeah, it's trying too hard.
 
They appear to have ditched the subtlety that was the whole point of the XJ...
 
hey you know that photoshop 'make a car look like its in CARS!' well this is perfect. It already has a cheesy grin with teeth!
 
Looks like some imbecile found a stash of leftover BMW M3 bumpers and decided to "improve" it. It's ruined now. For the love of all that is holy I hope they replace it soon.
 
So...it looks different? :p (never a fan of the XJ styling...)

It used to look like that, now they are just running out of ideas for a facelift and ruining it. Thankfully, the XJ will be completely redesigned in the near future.
 
The sides remind me of a Range Rover. Not a good thing on that kind of car. It looks a bit too awkward from the back. My thoughts on the XJ; the older they are the better they look.
 
So.... what, you guys just don't like the front bumper and tail lights?

For me, I don't like how they tried to make the front bumper more modern looking. (ex: the foglights) It looks like it's puckering up for a kiss.

The only change is that GASTLY air dam; what the hell - after all these concepts - its not like they didn't have any styling ideas to work with. Is that photoshoped? it doesn't match the lines and curves of the car at all.
 
Jaguars designs are worser? than Chris Bangles... XK doesnt look like a Jag and the new S-Type looks like a Hyundai.
 
I've always loved the XJ, so I wouldn't mind it,
even in this uglified version.

The new XK looks awkward though.
 
Apart from the smiling air dam, it looks really nice. Keeping with the usual styling of the XJ. An XJR in black = sex
 
They can't just let go and move on with a new design can they? :?
