For some reason I see shades of Holden in it. Maybe the wheels are throwing me..... it looks nice but there's nothing I've seen than stands out in terms of performance or design - plus I don't think we are supposed to see this here in the US until the 2017 model year. Alot can change in almost 2 years in terms of competition. I certainly don't think it will look "cutting edge" when it finally makes it here.

I'm sure the 3.0V6 TT diesels (as fitted in the XF/XJ) will be available at some point later on...they'd be mad not to.

I agree about the interior though on first look, very disapointing, given how good the interiors are in the XF and XJ.
