>JAGUAR, under the ownership of India's Tata group, is likely to unveil its new XJ by early next year. Nothing is known about the latest flagship Jag, except that it will be as radical as the recently launched XF (successor to the S-Type). Jaguar has finally realised that its traditional styling has prevented it from winning new customers. Tata is expected to overhaul the marque's line-up, starting with the canning of the poorly received X-Type 'baby Jag''. Its sporty heritage will be revived, possibly with a roadster inspired by the iconic E-Type of the 1960s.
