The styling of Jaguar’s new XF has been a letdown when you consider how stunning the original concept version looked. This latest video of the car out on the road shows it in a much better light compared to the initial studio shots but there’s no avoiding the "startled deer" style of the ugly headlights. Click here to read all the details on the new car and see our gallery of images.

  1. Forget it, they're done.
    Those headlights are ghastly, right off a Hyundai.
    What a pisser. How can a company that designs something like the XK series make such a horrible mistake. It's just a shame.

    Bad stuff?

  2. I saw one of hese driving down the M40 a couple of days ago - lokoed pretty good on the open road.

    I quite like the styling, While Jaguar traditionalists might cry heresy - I think the car's style works

  3. When I first saw the headlights I thought Jaguar had lost it. After seeing the video I'm changing my mind. They seem to give the front end a bit of character, and allowed the designers to add more curves to the hood.

    Pity Jaguar didn't have enough money to build the XF out of aluminum, though.
