I've always felt the Jaguar "leaping cat" logo should facing the other direction. To me, it's leaping backwards, and not forward; not a good brand image attribute.
Yeah - my first impression from the leaked photos yesterdays was the same - I think the Jag XJ rear end is more like a cross between the Bentley and C6 rear end
Why did Jag black out the C pillar? It looks totally out of place and does nothing to change the fact that the car looks a little bulky in the haunches.

Sorry but I can't see much in common between the two.

Me neither. BTW, XJ FTW!

MKS would have been a better comparison if you're talking about the tail lights.
I like the exterior, overall. It's the interior that turned me off.

I see more Audi in that Citroen than I see Citroen in the XJ. Other than the orientation of the lights I don't think the XJ is overtly similar.
The XJ is looking good to me.

Agreed with everyone else - if anything the C6 looks like a Chinese knockoff of the Jag.

The XJ looks more like a Lincoln MKS knockoff.

The tail light design look similar to '05 Hyundai XG350, especially the last picture (4 of 4)
