Big Tease? 2010 Jaguar XJ

Coventry’s 2010 Jaguar XJ teasing us

By Gunnar Heinrich | IMG Jaguar.com

FROM the top things look promising.

But will Jaguar parlay the C-XF’s (cast your minds back to ’07) raw sex appeal into the 2010 XJ sedan?

Original Concept: Jaguar C-XF

Can they pull off a feat which would not only capture our imaginations but open the way for other marques to copy Jag’s new creative height making our streets hotter?

Or will Coventry’s cat cough up just another hairball as lumpy and gooey eyed as the XF?

Unoriginal Result: Jaguar XF

For all the technical – ahem - charm that the British car maker has spread into its bread ‘n butter, pray-this-works midsize executive carrier, the C-XF’s luv was gone by the time the – aaahhheeemmm- pragmatic production sedan merged into traffic.

Pardon…it’s dusty in this blogosphere.

Jag selling practical and techy like Ze Germans? C’mon.

Wisely, Coventry is promising Teutonic-grade power – enough to shift plate tectonics  with a supercharged 510 hp V8 option.

But aside from being able to start and drive (fast) anytime and every time, the next XJ had better reintroduce sex into the relationship or Coventry’s cat has had it’s ninth.
