"Jaguar's sales for the year were up 6 percent compared to 2011. The launch of the XF 2.2 Diesel, XF and XJ 3.0 liter powertrains, and the introduction of various new derivatives, including the XF Sportbrake, has widened the brand's portfolio and geographic reach. Its top five markets were the United Kingdom, U.S., China, Germany and Russia.
Jaguar is concentrating on widening its four-wheel-drive availability and lessening its offering of big, V8 engines by producing more four-cylinder engines with superchargers."

"It's a fabulous-looking car in the metal. Not radical, but crisp, cultured and contemporary. Certainly there are historical Jaguar references for the die-hards to spot, but as Jaguar's design director Ian Callum says, "If you've never seen an E-Type taillamp or bonnet bulge, it doesn't matter; the design stands on its own merit."
And if anything, the interior is even better. The twin instrument dials, analog affairs with hip-looking typeface, are stylish and easy to read, the rocker switches click satisfyingly and the rotary dials move with the sort of precision that suggest Jag's chassis demigod, Mike Cross, might have been involved in tuning their feel."
