Default Is it my imagination?
While I don't own an XF (I do own an XKR and XJ Sport), I have admired its graceful, but strong lines since its inception. Is it my imagination or does the new Tesla S model look suspiciously like an XF? Certainly, Tesla borrowed a lot of styling cues!

What is it they say about copying/stealing and flattery ?

I had the same thoughts when I saw the Model S photos...

Would be interested in seeing one in person.

Cheers,

A friend of mine just got a Tesla S, and I had the same thought. In pictures and in person.

"Twins" of different mothers, XF vs. 2013 Toyota Avalon!

Hate to say it but this is what I was debating between these 2 which have a striking resemblance.

2009 Jaguar XF Premium

2012 Kia Optima Turbo Charged

...I made the right choice and went with the Jag.
