He’s had the Maybach Exelero in one video, the Pagani Zonda and Ferrari F430 in another, and now rap star Jay-Z is about to use the all-new 2011 Jaguar XJ in his latest clip.
Considering rappers have long been known to pimp out their videos with auto exotica, it’s not surprising to see Jay-Z pick the new XJ this time around. The suave British sedan oozes sophistication and the fact that it isn’t even on sale yet makes it all the more exclusive.
The new video is for a song titled "On to the Next One" that features on Jay-Z’s latest album, The Blueprint 3.
Jay-Z fans and auto enthusiasts will be able to log onto www.InteractiveJaguar.com and www.Jaguar.com to see the video in its entirety from next month onwards. The actual XJ will go on sale in the U.S. from April next year.

And as for Jaguar's "traditional looks", that's exactly why hardly anyone ever bought them. They were old and boring designs that even the Brits didn't like. It's about time they got with the 21st century and updated their designs. The new designs are curvy and sexy, more like Aston Martin and Maserati than Mercedes-Benz or BMW.

Also to say Jaguar is losing its looks is a good thing, they are looking better than ever (minus the E-type and XK-ss)
The fact is that this is a VERY good looking car!
(My dad was invited to a dealership viewing and I tagged along)
It is no wonder that he would wont this car in a video!

As for old school buyers. The whole problem was that ONLY old school buyers would buy a Jag, no one growing up these days would take a second look at one, that's why the new designs are so different. And without them Jaguar would be done.

The original styling remained from 1968-2009 with only 3 major updates, thats an impressive run in terms of car design, there have been over 1 million XJ`s made in 41 years, impressive, considering the pricing.
It was never meant to be common, like a BMW or Mercedes, if your into those, stick to them, Jags just arent aimed at people like you...
