Hot Off the Grill: 2008 Jaguar S-Type
AutoWeek is giving the front cover treatment to an artist's interpretation of the next Jaguar S-Type (top photo). This would normally signal that AW is pretty confident in the picture's accuracy. However if you compare the grille on AW's cover with recent spy photos or the RD6 concept of which the next S-Type is supposedly taking many of its styling queues and you'll see that AW's grill is much plainer.
Jaguar has to get the S-Type spot on, because it really needs a boost right now. The X-Type's future is unclear and the current XJ has never lit the sales charts on fire, which leaves the XK and S-Type to do all the heavy lifting. After the swoopy new S-Type debuts, the XJ will be reskinned to make it more stylish (at the cost of losing some interior space).
