Can't wait to see Top Gear stuntman drive it down the staircase on launch day.

Or maybe the hard of hearing stuntman from The Fast Show

Have you seen the pics of the planned new 5... that's very similar too. BMW have moved onto F numbers to designate their models now too... it'll be odd not referring to E-something

Jay, i've got a feeling that will still be launched and the concept is called CS.

I seem to remember it will either replace the 7 Series or be a standalone flagship above the 7. Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

Or form a niche of its own... I'm led to believe it will be produced as well. Good looking car

On a similar note, I was watching an old TG on Dave the other night... and during the news spot they put up a picture of what has become the XF. It was still at mockup stage at the time (and billed as the replacement for the S-type) and JC was saying that he'd been talking to the guy at Jaguar and he was saying that when it's produced it will look exactly like that. He then said that if that was true he would eat his hat.... turns out the XF does look exactly like that drawing

I remember that and also remember seeing the prototype/concept elsewhere.

The headlights and grille looked a lot neater on the concept though.

They seem to have lost a little of the magic in the transition (IMHO!) Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

It took me ages to get to like the looks of the current 7.... and even now I only think I like it certain colours/trims.
