Jaguar, since it stopped chewing tobacco, or in other words it stopped being under the control of the North American Ford, and started to eat a diet richer in spices (read TATA's Indian domain) is much better. The injection of Indian capital paid off, and the recent models launched by both Jaguar and Land Rover have excelled in good taste, refinement and build quality.

| Preview of what Jaguar has in store for us |
However, whenever I hear the word Jaguar associated with the expression “van”, “state” or “wagon” I have shivers down my spine. For those more attentive to the automobile phenomenon, it will not be difficult to remember, but it will certainly be painful to see the now extinct Jaguar X-Type Station. That's what happened to me this week when I saw the photo we have now released, which follows rumors that Jaguar is preparing a “state” version of its successful Jaguar XF saloon. I got chills down my spine! But let's give the benefit of the doubt, they deserve...
Even because traumas have these things, but experts say that there is no better way to overcome them than facing them. And that's what I did… I took a deep breath and published this news. Fortunately, it seems that this time my (and perhaps yours…) fears will be unfounded. The basis of Jaguar's new “state” is very well born, and if the design follows the trends of the British brand, the BMW Serie 5 Touring, Mercedes E-Class Station and Audi A6 Avant will have a tough opponent here.
