2008 Jaguar XJ saloon – Top cat receives its final facelift

About a year or so before Jag rolls off its all-new, non-retro looking XJ saloon, the Brits released a slightly facelifted version of the current model. Exterior-wise, the 2008 XK gets a refreshed front end which features a new, larger grille, redesigned front and rear bumpers, a subtle boot lip spoiler, new mirrors with integrated indicators and horizontal, wing mounted air vents reminiscent of the ones found in the XK. Subtle interior changes include new trim options and redesigned front seats that promise to add a few “mm’s” for the rear passenger knee space.

To be honest, all these cosmetic changes remind me of old movies starlets who don’t want to accept that they’re growing old so they keep on going to the plastic sergeant in an attempt to cover up the scares caused by time. The result however, scarcely justifies the efforts and money they’ve put into it and usually they just end up looking silly. -Continued: Click “Read More…” bellow for more pictures
