Stupid question but is this an XJ or XJL
Tough choice as both look great - the LWB car looking more like a proper limo, while the SWB pulls off the sporty coupe act a bit more convincingly.

I first thought I wanted the SWB as well, since I didn't need the extra legroom in the back. However, there are things to consider:
1. Unless you are going to order yours, selection of SWB XJ are limited in most showroom, so you will be limited by color selection, options, etc.
2. XJL offers more than just legroom, they have nicer interior equipment. They may or may not appeal to you. Rear and side sunshade (side sunshade not available on SWB), contrast piping, wood rear tables.
On a side note, if you are considering getting an xj, right now, I would heavily consider getting 2011 model, which has 5 year warranty that includes wear and tear items like brakes, etc.

That's a LWB--the rear door is longer than the front.
I specifically wanted a SWB because it is sportier and less limo looking and I didn't care about the extra rear seat legroom, side sun shades, or tray tables and I was able to get the better interior choices on the SC model. There is still plenty of room in the back seat.

I agree HouTexJag, the SWB is much sportier. That's why I ordered it, no need for extra room in rear. I just can"t wait until it gets here. I called the dealership today, and they couldn't tell me much. Other than orders are done in batches, thus they have to wait until the next batch of XJs are to be built. This wait is not fun; its only been one week.

I stand corrected.
The LWB doors front and rear are the same size where the SWB rear doors are smaller (measured across the lower window rail).
Went down to the show room to find out for you.
I was expecting the car to be the same as the 2007 LWB doors which are larger than the front doors.
