Blimey AE your either slow or just dont pay attention, I took pics of this car 3 months ago and forwarded to your publicity department and have seen many of these disguised cars around, so its old news !!! KEEP UP
The latest 2.2 PSA/Ford diesel is already available in the Mondeo with 200bhp, so I think someone may have got the figures wrong. Either that or this is the previous generation 2.2 which standard had 175bhp so 187 would be a gain, but its an engine that has already been superseded, so why are they putting it in?
i wish the grill had a more flat slab face stance rather than a sloped look. it would have good strong road presence with a powerful look. all in all a good looking car. would buy one any day without question, if only i had the money :(
with the car weighing around 1500 to 1700kg approx i would think the power figures are wrongly qouted it must come with at least 210bhp otherwise its rather pointless, you might as well go for the V6 diesel got ample spare power and good economy.
I hope it has a rear more like the Xk than the XJ. Jaguar's XJ looks a bit weird, funky, but weird. I would rather the XF follow the XK for its looks.
In Sept 10 AE you told us [about this facelift] "but no new engines", so............did Jaguar just pull the wool over youre eyes?? Or did they wake one night, between now and then, and go "oh buggar it, think we might stick that 4 pot from Ford in it, for luck". Nope!! Why dont you get a reliable mole in a few big companies so you can get some 'real' hot tips etc.
Hey-Zeus fellas, you are copping an enormous amount of flack in all the articles I read, and they aint polite discords about merit, theyre sticking it up you about accuracy and integrity. Please, perhaps a look at your journalistic standards may be appropriate. The 'raving red necks' [yeah, I'm one too] that post here are all passionate about cars. I'm sure many also buy the mag, which is really what its all about isnt it. Hitting the right demography in volume to justify big ad rates.
Whatever you do, I hope its the right move.
