The Jaguar XE, a real and legit challenge to the 3 series, C class and A4?

B9 A4 comes out next year too. Should be quite the battle.

Not seeing much resemblance outside of being red sedans.

me either. Other than the color and they both have tires. I don't think vauxhall and jag share any Dna

It's no E30.

It's no E30.

Amen.

I just noticed the electronic parking brake thing... :-(

I know. Gonna be difficult to modify it into a drift slut.

[ARMAN]

BUMP!

[TangoRed]

OK, admittedly the interior does look better in the real-life pics. Overall design still has me wanting though.

Hate it.. HATE IT!!!! We have that in the Subaru. I can never remember which is on and off and it wants to engage but then I hit it again and it gets confused... Give me a handle. I'm good at pulling my handle..

I didn't see where they said it'll weigh as little as an e36

[kornkid8600]

Looks very outdated already.

BUMP!

Best in class ride and handling? Interesting...we'll have to see whether that holds up in a head to head comparison with the 3 series.

+1

Looks like an early 2000's interior Exterior hasn't fared much better...

The F-type still looks decent but nobody is buying the things, the price is outrageous. Jaguar needs to really look at their business plan... maybe Tata just doesn't care.

It looks like the F30 from the profile. They just swapped a large front overhang and a short rear overhang to make the wheelbase look a little more stretched. And 7.4 to 60? My B8 quattro would destroy that car, it rides awesome, and it looks better inside and out. No, thanks... try again, Jaguar.

I love mine. It took me about 10 seconds to get used to it.

Yeah, I agree, it does looks a bit like the F30 from a side profile, but as for 0-60 time, you do realize they are not testing the top of the line model do you? Not even close. I wouldn't write it off just yet.

Jaguar's biggest hurdle is their dismal reputation. I'm not talking about Lucas electrics either.
The brand bears little resemblance to Jaguar of old but if you visit Jag forums you'll see they often still treat customers poorly after the sale.
The Jag dealer near me is a virtual ghost town yet you are still ignored if browsing and the service dept. is absurdly and unabashedly expensive.
