When many of you think of Jaguar, we all assume retro vehicles with a slight modern flair. However, all that might change with the C-XF concept car to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show. If this design is any indication of what to expect, we can clearly see that Jaguar is headed for a more futuristic appeal. I think this is a trend long overdue for Jaguar.

It appears that the C-XF is being designed to compete with Mercedes’ CLS 4 door coupe. I had the pleasure of test-driving the CLS and I have to admit that it is a very pleasant car. However, getting into the rear seat is absolutely horrendous and I could never avoid hitting my head on the low entry door. In addition, the C-XF is set to replace the aging S-Type and perhaps set a whole new design direction for the floundering company. Before you hold your breath, do realize that this design is most likely not final and will most likely go through some significant changes before production.

This is one sweet ride that I cannot wait to test-drive. My only hope is that this car is going to be present at the Chicago Auto Show.
