Jaguar reveals crossover plans
Friday, December 10, 2010
Jaguar is considering giving the green light to a crossover SUV according to well placed sources inside the company.
New boss Adrian Hallmark is firmly behind the plan too. “We need a crossover and we need to stop being a saloon-based company,” he told Autocar at a private dinner last night.
Hallmark also revealed that four-wheel-drive saloons will need to part of the company's future in order to boost its appeal on the east coast of the US and parts of Europe.

He also confirmed that an estate XF was imminent - the wagon will account for a fifth of the model’s sales - and said that lightweight cars are part of “our future DNA”. That’s likely to add fuel to rumours that the next-gen XF and sports cars will be made from aluminium.
Jaguar Land Rover boss Ralf Speth also revealed that it Jaguar’s Castle Bromwich plant was the factory under threat from closure before the decision was made to save it earlier this year. Earlier reports had suggested that the Solihull plant was the most likely to go.

riporto anche se non e' che si dica poi tanto
in pratica ci sono piani per:
1) cross-over 4x4
2) versioni a trazione intergrale delle berline per avere piu' appeal in markets quali costa est USA e alcune zone dell'Europa
3) XF SW
4) future XF e sportive con pianale in alluminio
nessuna menzione al berlina seg D e sopratutto, mi chiedo, che fine ha fatto la spider XE? spero non sia finita in soffitta
emblematico il fatto che quelle che ho menzionato come non menzionate sono anche quelle che probabilmente potrebbero essere meno profittevoli...ed una giaguara compatta, magari shooting brake?
