    Post Plastic surgery for the S-type

    Not have been around for so long the S type has received its first facelift to cope with its german competitors who,in fact,can be at least described as fabulous.Well,the revised Jag is supposed to be more athletic than its predecessor as it features tighter panel fit ,alongside an aluminium bonnet for better weight distribution while on the inside, the instrument panel has been revised for a more sporting feel.Still, the surronding environment still reminds us with the british luxury.Trims & colors are available in a wider range of options for more individual choices than ever.
    The available petrol engines will keep on going untouched but for the diesel fans club the big hit will be the launch of the first diesel S-types powered by an all-new 2.7-litre twin-turbo diesel in both automatic & manual gearboxes.
    To improve its ride quality and handling dynamics the car has been equipped with lower-friction ball joints and revised damper settings.& for showing off purposes you can make the most of this by choosing the Sports suspension option, which beefs up the springs and shocks even more and puts 18-inch alloys on the end of your axles for a more direct drive than ever.
    Further new options across the range include Front Park Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Alert, as well as a broadened range of special equipment packs.
    It is the price tag that will finally decide whether new customers will choose to sit behind the S-types wheels with the existance of 5SER,E-class,....
    Jag promises the S-type will be as competitively priced as it ever was....

    Glad they got rid of the ugly leaping cat. I've always liked the Jaguar S-Type, though the E class still looks way better.

    I visited the factory a few weeks back, and they had just started full scale production of the new S, and it is strange how a few minor details can change the appearance so much.

    IMHO This is what the S type should always have looked like.
    Thanks for all the fish

    Stick the leaping jaguar back on the bonnet and spray it in British Racing Green, then give it to me.

    Cheers,
