In an odd but not unheard of move, Jaguar is providing spy shots of the new XF Sportbrake. This isn't the first time we've seen manufacturers sending out their own spy photos, but it is the first time that they've A) Done so via twitter and B) added a twitter tag to the actual vehicle.
The Jag-owned twitter @Sportbrake is mostly full of references to people who have asked for, and received, the hand-out shots of the new Jag wagon. As we get closer to the car's release, though, they may turn to talking about things like the actual car.
But until they do, we have these photos.

Hey, popout tail lights! Maybe that'll help let people know when you're braking/turning better.

So this is basically a station wagon, right? We're just calling them Sportbrakes now? I can live with that if it means more wagons.

I still prefer SUV's over wagons. I want ground clearance and AWD. Jaguar doesn't seem to be interested in either.

@ carguy622
Sportbrake appears to reference "shooting brake".
@ transpower
That's becaus Jaguar is tied to Land Rover. You want an SUV, buy a Range Rooney...
