Design Review: Jaguar R-D6 concept
At first glance, the R-D6 shows many similarities to the R-Coupe of two years ago, but size-wise it's closer to an Alfa 147 or Mazda RX8 at 4330mm long. The large 21" wheels, 2840mm wheelbase and short overhangs give a new proportion for a compact premium car, while the pronounced ...

Design Review: Jaguar XJ
The effect is again bold and highly distinctive, quite unlike anything else in the luxury class. However, it does leave the vertical surface of the trunk lid as a large plain area, relieved only by the chrome Jaguar 'leaper' logo in the center, and there is an awkwardness to some ...

Design Review: Jaguar XJ
Despite the critical acclaim already achieved by the Jaguar XF, it has moved the needle only slightly in terms of the old-fashioned public perception of marque.

Design Review: Jaguar C-X16 concept
Nice detailing includes the clamshell hood as a neat way to minimize the shutlines on the fender top, the side-hinged coffin lid rear hatch and the inlaid carbon fiber blades in the 21-inch wheels. We also noted the ‘Cool Cat' growler - complete with sunglasses - in the grille when ...
