BY THE early Nineties there was a feeling from Jaguar’s customers, especially in America, that the XJ40 looked too much like other cars. It was very square, quite boxy and therefore not very Jaguar-like. Ever since the XJ40 was new in 1986 there had been some adverse comments about its design, particularly in comparison to the XJ6 Series 3. It clearly wasn’t as beautiful, although it still had very nice proportions.
The feeling was that the Series 3’s distinctive design was more like Jaguars had been – and not just the classic rounded lights: the overall design had more form.
