I thought somebody had already posted this earlier today, but maybe i'm crazy, i'm sure you'll all let me know.

Looks like about what i was expecting. Definitely not as drop dead sexy as the XF-C from what I can tell, toned down as you'd expect, but i think it definitely has some serious potential. I think i'd prefer this as a sedan, although one of the guys on autoblog had a good point... having a small coupe, a big sedan, and the XF right in between as a "4-door coupe" whatever you wanna call it.

Isn't this a great time of year??!

Pretty good. Jaguar needs something fast to save them.

I dunno, there looks to be a lot of 'S-Type' left over in those doors and in the roofline too. If it looks like a face-lifted S-Type I think it will no doubt fall short of the ground breaking change Jag has been hinting that it will be, and that wont be good.

doors are exactly like these except that one has door handles.

Actually, I meant from the beltline up so possibly I should have simply left it at roofline instead of roofline and doors. Although the beltline itself has changed more than I was giving it credit for as well after closer inspection.

Even so, I still worry that this still looks a good deal like Jaguar dropped the S-Types greenhouse onto a production ready version of the XFC concept. Perhaps I was expecting too much since Jaguar was forced to pinch pennies in this update. And as we all know changing the roofline is a very expensive under-taking and may not have been practical in this situation.

I may well be wrong, and I sincerely hope that this is an example of reading too much into fuzzy, camo-laden spy-shots.
