Oh man, this sucks...(like the car itself)...

Jaguar has two vehicles on the list

Jaguar: it's time to redesign the X-Type and XJ

Sad to hear about the Boxster, i wonder if the Cayman has had a helping hand in slowing Boxster sales or whether it's just slowing down?

I'm quite surprised for the XJ, I think it looks rather handsome... It's time to update its interior for sure. The X-Type and the S-Type need to be redesigned IMO! Soon!

From this list we can clearly see the decline in the appeal of SUVs.

I won't arue the exterior is ugly or anything, i also think it's handsome vehicle, but at the same time the design has hardly changed since it's orignal release. I would also agree the interior needs a bit of an update and in my opinion i suggest they evolve design on the X-Type, S-Type and XJ like they did the XK

I know there has been talk about Jaguar financial troubles and the complete lack of money, maybe that's why they aren't redesigning them

It has hardly changed probably because they wouldn't want to tinkle around with a proven formula, would they?

Just like Porsche with its 911 series. Do you think the 911 looks old, then?

Of course not, Porsche doesn't shouldn't change they're forumla either, but unlike Jaguar, Porsche has constantly evolved with technology while keeping the classic Porsche design. I love the 911 design and i don't feel it's old at all, but i think Jaguar did a pretty good job when evolving the XK without losing that "magic", the same in my opinion could be done with the S-Type, X-Type and XJ.

That's true.

What has the headline to do with the content? Where are there cars with "the biggest sales"? Concerning Jaguar?

The sales for all those models decline, because they are old and newer competitors are on the market (new S-Class, lots of new SUVs...), which is just natural...as soon as there is a new Toureg (for example) sales will increase again. just my two cents

G-Class and sales decline?

That car is a low volume production model with limited demand. I don't think we can speak of the G-Class as ever having been a "high seller" in the first place.
