Inside Line have published their "First Drive" review of the 2011 Jaguar XJ 5.0L V8 Portfolio. 'It's obvious that this new XJ is different from the moment you see it, because the 2011 Jaguar XJ is the first XJ to not resemble the landmark Series 1 XJ of 1968. From its thrusting latticed grille to the tapering rake of its coupelike rear windshield, this Jaguar looks sleekly, futuristically and arrestingly different. Your eyes might be momentarily drawn to the oddly upright grille, or maybe the long, shallow greenhouse that lends this car a massively different visual character compared to a traditional sedan, or perhaps the gloss-black rearmost pillar of the roof or the rakish rear taillights, but whatever it is, you won't be confusing this car with the previous-generation XJ that came to us in 2003.'
