Design With A Capital “D”: 2010 Jaguar XJ
Pay every attention to the man and his car behind the curtain!
By Gunnar Heinrich | IMGs from Jaguar Cars
JAGUAR is still taunting us with the panoramic trickle-tease release of its next generation flagship: the XJ sedan. So far, we’ve only seen a wide shot looking down at the saloon from above. In this video “Icon Reimagined”, we get a better taste of how the new cat prowls as it moves gracefully behind the veil of a silky curtain.
The 2010 XJ is to carry on the sexiest lineage of executive saloons known to man and is – according to its designer Ian Callum – a “modern car”.
In the video, Mr. Callum believes that a Jaguar should be, “very beautiful, very clear in its intent, but relevant for its time.”
Possible interpretation: the current XJ’s looks have gone stale and I recognize that and we’re amending. Mea culpa.
We, the Jaguaristi, wait with baited breath to see Mr. Callum’s interpretation of “very modern”. Jaguar’s set to unveil the new XJ on July 9th, 2009.
