So, yeah, they couldn't really change them... And it's not that they're ugly, it's that they don't match how stunning they concept's were.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ubizzle]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2008 5:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/12/kitschy-cat-galpinized-jaguar-xf/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/12/kitschy-cat-galpinized-jaguar-xf/</guid><description><![CDATA[What!?!?!??  I dunno what regulations you speak of, but the headlights on this XF are just plain old BAD DESIGN!!!<br><br>How they can nail the rear light design so perfect... and then miss the mark so badly on the front is beyond me.<br><br>They look like they were taked right of a Chrysler Sebring.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chopper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2008 6:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/12/kitschy-cat-galpinized-jaguar-xf/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/12/kitschy-cat-galpinized-jaguar-xf/</guid><description><![CDATA[It was in a car magazine (possibly Autocar or Car) a while ago, i would dig it up, but at the moment i'm a wee bit busy.

Most customers would prefer a non-melted hood and functional lights over the alternative.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[madgamer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2008 6:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/12/kitschy-cat-galpinized-jaguar-xf/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/12/kitschy-cat-galpinized-jaguar-xf/</guid><description><![CDATA[I seriously doubt there is any reason not to keep the original headlights from the concept, apart from a tight budget. They just went with what was available and thats it. They could have worked with the leading headlight and bulb manufactrers and paid some money, but nooo, the company was barely surviving. The heat problem i believe was due to the LEDs on the concept. It was a poor decision that totally ruined the car, I really hope that when tata buys jag they will find the money to put proper headlights on the thing, probably at a mid-life facelift in a few years. I am not holding my reath though. For comparison's sake, the aforementioned 159 headlights really look about the same size as on the xf concept, check it <a href="http://www.autospies.com/news/Spy-Photos-2007-Alfa-159-Spotted-In-Los-Angeles-9723/" rel="nofollow">http://www.autospies.com/news/Spy-Photos-2007-Alfa-159-Spotted-In-Los-Angeles-9723/</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Val]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2008 8:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/12/kitschy-cat-galpinized-jaguar-xf/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/12/kitschy-cat-galpinized-jaguar-xf/</guid><description><![CDATA[its because they cant, the smaller headlights created too much heat, it was not possible. I still like them. i am studying Industrial Design, and the concept headlights would have been too small for the car, and besides the car as a whole is beautiful, its a car you can see a soul, it isnt just a machine.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jomil]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2008 9:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/12/kitschy-cat-galpinized-jaguar-xf/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/12/kitschy-cat-galpinized-jaguar-xf/</guid><description><![CDATA[@Yaroukh: They're Italian, of course they don't :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 13th 2008 5:15AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
