After a month long vacation, I'm back in the drivers seat with a review on the 2008 Jaguar XJ. For 08 the XJ the gets an updated sporty look.The first noticeable change is the updated front and rear bumpers are more angular, wider and even more aggressive looking than before.
Wide vents on the front bumper tell viewers the Jag isn't only for leisurely driving around back country roads, it's also for performance driving.
No more trademark chrome siding either. Now sleek body panels and lines flow into each other. Though, there are still touches of chrome here and there.
Also gone are the bars on the grill or the distinctive Jaguar "teeth"; now a mesh grill replaces it similar to the grill on the XJR.
Side air vents and sporty wheels also give an indication that Jaguar may be targeting a younger market with the new XJ.
Some think the new XJ looks too sporty. At first glance I though it was the new XJR or after market bumpers and wheels were installed.
The interior has had minimal updates and similar to the older model.
The new design seems to be balancing performance sports sedan with traditional Jaguar styling. Is it too sporty or just right? You decide.
