Jaguar XJ Spotted

Are you looking forward to the Jaguar XJ’s debut? We’ll get a chance to do just that in a little over a month, on July 9th.  I’m highly anticipating finally seeing the whole thing after all this waiting. Until then, more spy shots will have to suffice. Brenda Priddy & Company is happy to oblige!

Jaguar decided to camouflage the vehicle as a BMW 7-Series in order to escape photography. That’s interesting because Jaguar has been very lax about spy shots with the XJ, waging a smart publicity campaign ahead of the car’s launch.  This instance may be a little different though because the car is much further along its development process. You want to show some but not too much. That would defeat the point, wouldn’t it?

So alas, the decoy failed to fool the experienced spy photographers who recognized it as a Jaguar anyhow. Sources describe it as “similar in appearance to the Aston Martin Rapide”.That is a very good thing indeed! Word is that some special VIPs were able to see the vehicle early and that is where these leaks are coming from. Being the company’s flagship attention getter expect the car to be more daring then the XF. Think C-XF Concept. Head over to Leftlane News for more images of the new XF. This is getting exciting!
