The 2009 Jaguar XF marks a radical departure from the S-Type it replaces. Styling is unique for Jaguar, though the new XF bears a passing resemblance to the XK sport coupe. Power comes from a 4.2 liter V8, with both naturally -aspirated (300 hp) and supercharged (420 horsepower) versions available. The six-speed automatic transmission gets an industry-first dial selector as well as steering-wheel-mounted shifter paddles.
