I like it. The execution, especially the front, is a lot better than the new XK.

I really like the CGI. Also, it's good if the X-Type doesn't go anywhere. It's totally possible for Jag to succeed in that segment. The X-Type was simply a lackluster vehicle. With a competitive product, a successful X-Type would really add volume for Jag.

Testing in Californian desert
The Ford-owned British sports car maker Jaguar is currently testing among others the cooling and air conditioning system for the next generation S-Type in the Californian desert under real world conditions. The crew of engineers have several prototypes of the new model, some of which are shown on these recent photos.
Code-named X 250, the next S-Type aims in particular at buyers of the very successful BMW 5-Series. The current S-Type has been on the market since 1998, and although it had found many faithful buyers, the nostalgic styling turned out not to be for everybody.
Now Jaguar is about to develop a more modern and futuristic looking car and to abandon the old styling. The pictured prototypes have still body parts from the current S-type but already the new front end, still partly hidden under disguise.
According to insider information, the new S-Type will adapt styling elements from both, the RD 6 and R-Coupe concept cars and will be getting an oval mesh grille split by a chrome bar with the Jaguar badge. Furthermore, it is said to get twin single- unit headlights and the bumper has integrated twin fog lamps.
Engines come from the current S line up, a choice of an entry level 3.0 litre fuel engine and a 2.7 litre twin-turbodiesel, furthermore a 4.2 litre V8 delivering 300 bhp plus a top-of-the-line 420 bhp V8 from the recently launched XKR. The new S-Type is scheduled for release in 2008.
The photos are showing S-Type prototypes. Two additional computer images are giving an artist’s impression of how the new model could look like upon its release.

Spy Shots: 2008 Jaguar S-Type - - by Hans Lehmann/Hidden Image - - Source: The Car Connection
Jaguar is testing the next generation S-Type in the Californian desert - and some of the latest prototypes are shown in these recent photos.
Code-named X250, the next S-Type will take direct aim at the BMW 5-Series. According to insider information, the new S-Type will adapt styling elements from both the RD6 and R Coupe concept cars and will be getting an oval mesh grille split by a chrome bar with the Jaguar badge. Twin single-unit headlights and a bumper with integrated twin fog lamps are in the offing, too.
Engines come from the current S-Type lineup: a 2.7-liter turbodiesel, a 3.0-liter V-6 and a 300-hp, 4.2-liter V-8 will be carried over. A 420-hp V-8 will be derived from the XKR.
The new S-Type is scheduled for release in 2008. The photos show S-Type prototypes, while two additional computer renderings give an artist's impression of how the new model could look like upon its release. -Hans G. Lehmann/Hidden Image

The S-Type R should forget the M5, and instead go after the E55. More comfy cruiser and 'bahn burner, less hardcore, computer controlled "ultimate driving machine"

Jaguar XF: S-Type replacement gets new name
From Leftlanenews...
The next-generation Jaguar S-Type won't be an S-Type at all. Rather, it will be badged "XF," according to Jaguar chief Bibiana Boerio. Ms. Boerio told the U.K.'s Autocar the XF will "challenge people to think again about Jaguar as daring and different."
The new name creates a sense of consistency throughout the Jaguar lineup, with the XJ and XK already sharing a naming scheme. As previously reported, the XF will be constructed of steel, rather than aluminum. The decision was made in order to bring the XF to market more quickly.

The Jaguars have long lost its British Jag heritage. They used to look so classy a few generations back.

I like this way better than the CGIs on top. 4-door AM definitely.
