Without getting down to the nitty gritties there is similarities with the jaguars design to the FG’s/ FG-X Falcons especially around the rear and some side angle influences most probably due to Ford owning and designing some of the jaguar at the time

@@RossReviewsau the x250 XF post facelift models (2012/2013) are post ford and redesigned by Jaguar when given more freedom by it's new owners TATA. I would also recommend testing the x250 3.0l Twin Turbo Diesel as well as it's also a very interesting car as well. Specifically look at the AWD version.

Horrible engine bay to work on. I had to do a water pump and pipe behind it on the V6 supercharged. Luckily you don't have to take off the supercharger intake manifold which would be a mammoth job, so much shit everywhere. But even still was shit. I didn't quote the job but we replaced that, the pipe behind, seals etc and still pouring out coolant from that area. Fucking garbage cars.
