  Good design should polarise opinion, and the XJ certainly does that. Particularly as the radical break from the style of its predecessors makes the step to the new XJ seem even bigger.

• OUTOFACES.COM, 14TH JULY

  Jaguar has released a stunning masterpiece for 2010. The Jaguar XJ is a powerful yet light weight aluminum bodied car.

  You've probably read all there is to read on here on the new Jaguar XJ. We have to agree that it's a brilliant car – although the final proof will be on it drives, which won't be getting a chance to do until later in the year – and we are blown away by the design of both the interior and exterior.

  Have you seen the new Jaguar XJ yet? If not, you really should. Not only is it one of the most beautiful cars we've ever laid eyes on, it's also got more kit built in than Inspector Gadget in a trenchcoat. See it up close in our hands and eyes-on gallery!

• BMWBLOG.COM, 13TH JULY

  The 2010 Jaguar XJ was unveiled a few days ago and without a doubt, it will join the big boys - BMW 7 Series, MB S-Class, Lexus LS and Audi A8 - in the high-end sedan luxury market. Judging from the reactions seen on several auto media publications, the new XJ is really a huge step forward for the Coventry based Jaguar.

• KILMARNOCKSTANDARD.CO.UK, 13TH JULY

  RAPTOR eyes and claws of cat. It sounds more like a witches' brew than Jaguar's design chief talking about the sensational new XJ saloon.
  
  Ian Callum is in exuberant mood. The 54-year-old Scot and his design team at Jaguar's R&D centre at Whitley in Coventry have had fun creating the new XJ - and it shows.

• AUTOMOTIVERHYTHMS.COM, 12TH JULY

  The current XJ, timeless in design and sophisticated in presence, represents a history full of fond memories and remarkable achievements. Yet -- as all things must -- Jaguar needed to evolve its entire lineup into the future, a task not easy as patrons become accustomed to the "known" and fearful of the "unknown." Nevertheless, with such an intrepid move on Jaguar’s part by far, the 2010 XJ is now more suitable to compete with the Benz S-Class and BMW 7-Series.

• TIMEONLINE.CO.UK JAY LENO 12TH JULY

  I would recommend the XJ. It's a rational choice, to my mind, but I bet most buyers will still arrive at it entirely irrationally.

• SYBARITES.ORG, 12TH JULY

  The car has been completely redesigned and features an aluminum chassis and a coupe style back putting the car in the same class as the Maserati Quattroporte, Porsche Panamera and the upcoming Aston Martin Rapide. The interior features a Bower & Wilkins sound system as well as redesigned navigation system.

• MIRROR.CO.UK QUENTIN WILSON, 11TH JULY

  This week Jaguar replaced the 40-year-old XJ with one of their freshest and most audacious designs yet.
  
  Months ago I was given a privileged preview of the new XJ in the Coventry firm's design studio, but was sworn to secrecy. I can tell you that in the flesh the car is completely stunning, and my picture does it no justice at all.

• THESUN.CO.UK KEN GIBSON, 10TH JULY

  Jaguar clearly believes that the XJ is the start of a new era and, as our exclusive pictures reveal, the bold XJ is no retro remake of the past — this is a thoroughly modern Jag aimed at setting motoring trends for others to follow.

• AUTOCAR.CO.UK, 10TH JULY

  For what it's worth, I think the car's a very smart design – in both senses of the word. It's fresh, it's avant-garde, it's perfectly proportioned, and you certainly can't help looking at it. A Quattroporte's prettier, sure – but, though it takes some getting used to, I'd say this Jag isn't far behind.

• CARGURUS.COM, 9TH JULY

  This car won't only take sales away from BMW and Mercedes, it'll be a competitor to the likes of the Maserati Quattroporte and Porsche Panamera.

• AUTOBLOG, 9TH JULY

  Not only does the XJ appear to be the measure of its German competitors, it may play a strong foil for the Maserati Quattroporte and Porsche Panamera.
