Plus One Year: 2010 Jaguar XJ
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: YouTube ::: 2010 Jaguar XJ
IT’S been nearly one solid year since car guy Jay Leno unveiled the X351 (current) generation XJ Jaguar flagship in a posh London art gallery.
Months prior to the reveal, Jaguar teased us blogger folk with furtive images of cat-like silhouettes and LED headlamps piercing through blackness. It was exciting. Some might say arousing. And then the reveal.
Has the XJ lived up to the hype since? Difficult to say, really. Despite Callum & Co.’s best efforts, in the XJ there seems an awful lot of Citroën C6 mixed with Audi A6 mixed with who-knows-what.
But Mr. Leno gives an encouraging few bons mots for Jag design in this video; referencing what old men want and so forth.
Enjoy.
