[QUOTE=Doug;1362542]It's contrary to the Jaguar concept.
Jaguar are sleek, trim, sophisticated. That type of thing.
I usually like a few subtle styling mods to convey a somewhat tougher, purposeful appearance....but it's easy to go overboard. Jags are not supposed to be 'in your face'. With a Jag you want people to say "That's simply stunning" and not "Wow. Holy ****, take a look at that f--kin Jag" ....if ya get what I mean![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Doug, not sure you do not need a few kids saying "Wow. Holy ****, take a look at that f--kin Jag" instead of what they are saying now which is " look at that old man driving another boring Jag ".
To my eye the XJS for the most part was always missing something that really made it stand out and memorable. The Lister XJS' gave us a glimpse of what is possible with this fine car.
Think for example of the C2 or C3 Corvettes. Beautiful cars and a base model is one that a middle aged couple would see passing them and say something like " what a beautiful car ". On the other hand when a 427 rumbled pass the same family the young boy in the back seat said " holly sh&t that is the car I want to have one day "
