If Jaguar made a proper X type, with a better interior, and cheaper prices, as well as more radical styling, I can see it selling! |
The car being based on the Mondeo wasn't an issue. The price was the biggest problem with it. Most people looking for a small sedan are not willing or can't afford to buy such a car with a 40k asking price.
Hopefully jaguar won't try to compete in the segment. It is far too competitive, the 3er, IS, A4 and C-class and difficult to beat. Jaguar could though, on the other hand bring out a more upscale small sedan but they'll hardly have the resources and Ford would compromise the whole thing and mess it up.
