The new B11 vs. Jag XF10

Are those two cars related?

I was just looking at http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/ , and when I came across the image of Jaguar XF10, my first though was about the new B11.

Correct me if I am wrong, but from the front they look remarkably similar. Although i could not compare them exactly, since I don't have an autoexpress membership, and they won't even show the damen picture more then once.

Could someone post the image of XF10? Thanks..

Nik

The XF10isn't so much a Jaguar as it is based on a Jaguar. It seems to be a car that the Fuore Design team built as a concept. Jaguar seemed to have little to do with it.

As for the grilles being similar, I think that's a coincidence. The XF10 concept seems to recall early Jaguar sports cars, where as the B11S was designed by somebody who forgot that he's no longer working for Alfa Romeo.

Very interesting coincidence though, and not only the grill. the fog lights look similar too.

Looking at the 2 pictures head to head, you would think that cars are designed by the same company. They look like they came from the same parts bin.

From the pitures, you would never guess that the Jag is Ford and the Suby is GM.

One looks fatter then the other.

If you look closer though, you can see that they have some differences.

Yeah, the front of the Jag, once you look closely, looks like it's modeled after Mick Jagger's tongue.

I think it's the same car, with the Male or Female option.
Yup - the SU (Seat's up), the SD (Seat's down).

What a country!

Ron (either option's a real bummer).

IMHO, 2 cars do not make a parade (Maybe it does in KY).
Bring what up; Ford, GM, or both ?

PS: Happy Derby Day!

they have differences, but they have many similarities, from the front the b11s looks better, but from the side or side/front the jag looks sooo much better
