Jaguar Confirms Development of New Entry-Level Sedan and All-Wheel Drive XJ

Jaguar has admitted that it is currently working on a new sedan that will be the entry-level model of the range. Smaller than the XF, the new model is expected to have a starting price of around �28,000 (�31,850/$45,685). According to Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, the sub-�30,000 premium car market is four times larger than that of sedans priced above �30,000 (�34,120), so developing a cheaper, smaller Jaguar makes a solid business case.

Russian Customizer Turns a Jaguar into a GAZ-21 Lookalike

Previously on ROAD CARS, we�ve seen Pontiac Fieros turned into �Fierarris�, Toyota Soarers adorned with Mercedes-Benzes off cuts and some others too hideous to even mention.

What you rarely see is something exotic transformed into something that some people would call mundane. That�d just be silly. Never to be one to shy away from a challenge, the Russians have done just that: taken a Jag and turned it into a GAZ.

Originally this car was a 1993 Jaguar XJ40 with an automatic transmission and a 3.2 L V6. Its exterior has been adorned with the grille, head- and taillights, unique side vents and boot emblem from a �70s Volga. It�s not quite in the same league as the BMW 6-series derived Volga V8 Roadster or the Porsche Cayenne-based �Lenin-mobile�, but it�s still an impressive transformation.

Well, except for those 6,475 U.S.-spec units manufactured between July 28, 2009 and November 3, 2010, on which the front wiper arms weren't sufficiently torqued during assembly.

Arden Takes On the New Jaguar XJ Saloon

The all-new Jaguar XJ is one of those cars you either love or hate. There is no middle ground with this strange mix of old and new, of traditionalism and modern manufacturing techniques.
