There is no question that the XJ has been one of the most beautiful sedans ever made. I'm particularly partial to the Series III version by Sergio Pininfarina but the traditional styling of the current XJ undoubtedly hurt it in the marketplace. I'm an XJ fan and I had to see the back end of the car to tell it from the previous generation.
The new XJ must instantly look like the new XJ. Enough traditional XJ design cues (the haunches, the faired in quad headlamps - I think it's a mistake to not have nacelles on both lamps of the XF, maybe elements of the XJ grille) but in a modern package. I'm not a big fan of J. Mays, but the New Beetle and current Mustang are outstanding examples of what I'm talking about.
