Going back on topic, it looks great, both inside and outside, just a shame about its big ugly a**e!

Yes, a bit sort of " Cadillac" from the rear!

No doubt it will sell well in the US. Jags do tend to do well over there. Can't say it does anything for me, front or back. Never been sure that brown leather is a particularly good choice, but hey it's whatever floats your boat. Dealers seem to think 'brown' is the new black for the interiors and given the numbr of vehicles offering it as an option, someone must be buying it.

Interesting enough, I have never had a black leather interior on any of my cars.

Love brown (always have), must be the skin tone... ;) Remember posting about 5hep's M3 in that cinnamon colour and I like that too.

But not the car. Is this the same as the one Top Gear messed about with on the new Sweeney film last week?

Perhaps it's the shades I've seen in the Dealerships then. Not found one that I really think works with any particular exterior colour that I would have, but it's a personal choice thing I know.

personal choice i guess. i like light colours inside, contrasting colours is preferred over monotone. found a perfect match for my taste with the x - mocha brown leather combined with black..

personally i like the jag interior brown as well. its unusual.. (seen lambos or ferraris with that though.. on tele of course ;))

similarly i know ppl who wouldn't budge from black interior.

Would love dark colour outside with sand/ivory/beige inside but not a great idea with a dog!
