Jaguar is launching a replacement for its S-Series. It is the seductive 2009 XF, which was introduced at the Frankfurt, Germany Auto Show. "Code-named X250, the new XF is aimed in particular at buyers of the very successful BMW 5-Series," The Car Connection reported. "To that end, Jaguar has developed a more modern and futuristic car and has abandoned the old-fashioned styling of the S-Type. Jaguar introduced such a concept car at the Detroit auto show, wearing the C-XF name."

Sectors Adopting This
