 2009 Jaguar XF Defines New Look at LA Auto Show It’s definitely a departure from the classic Jaguar design, is it an improvement? I don’t think so unless you call looking less like a Jag and more like a Bentley/Infinity cross an improvement. Jaguar made this mistake in the 80’s and ended up returning to the classic look, people buy Jags because they look like Jags not something else.  The Jaguar XF is here. On sale in March of '08, the 300 hp sedan will set you back $49,975 and the supercharged, 400 hp version cost you an additional $13,000. However, it will muscle its way to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds. We like that. Sadly, despite designer Ian Callum's best efforts the looks still leave us cold. Well, not exactly cold, but viewed from the side, everything behind the B-pillar looks like an Infiniti G and the short front fenders scream FWD. The headlamps are sharp and the taillights scream Aston Martin, which we think we like.
