Looks like the production version of Sexy beast is coming along well.

The interior looks really interesting... I hope, Jaguar will not make any mistakes with the quality...

550i: 5.4

535i: 5.6

535xi: 5.5

of course once the speeds get higher-the v8 should take charge. But economically and even perhaps for handling purposes (the N54 is lighter than the V8) i would definitely go with the 535..

The interior design has elements of the A8.

It is definitely a new, more german styled interior design for Jaguar. Looking good so far, i hope they reduce the dashboard panel gap on the production version

Good eye, because it sure does. Too bad though that quality won't likely be near as good as Audi's.

I have lots of hope for Jaguar. BTW, can we stop calling it the sexy beast - it's what some of my friends christened me in school. j/k

I hope you don't go to an all boy school, otherwise......you are in trouble

Back on topic. After weeks of thinking, i will pick the E class, the Mercedes offers the solid feeling that no other cars can match. I feel like i am inside a bank vault everytime i sit inside the E. This to me is the most important thing. So E-class 1st, then 5 series.

I knowww...dunno what everyone else is on about. It's hideous!

If they think this is going to rock the boat...they've got another thing comming. The design and panel fit and finish look like a cheap mid 90's effort AT BEST. Just look at thoe air vents.
