Totally irrelevant post, I know.
One thing that looks totally wrong to me is a Jaguar with a single exhaust pipe. I know they've been produced for a while now, but not right in my opinionated eyes.

Wow, only 1 exhaust pipe? Where's the market guy, quick fire him!
Exhaust pipes are the new "black russian" of a codpeice, used by every every toddler in the marketing departments of the motoring industry to let punters claim to be better endowed than they truly are. I find it so funny when you drive up behind someone and the angle suddenly gives you a clear view up the exhausts and you can see things like
a) Inside that massive great big oval thunder cannon their is a teeny weeny pea shooter
b) There might be 4 exhaust pipes pointing out of the back of that status symbol on wheels but the inside of 2 are black and the other 2 are virgin stainless and quite clearly blind pipes to bamboozle the impressionable.

Only 1 exhaust pipe must be marketing code for "this is the base model"

I saw an XF, or possibly an XE, I can't tell the difference, with only one exhaust pipe today. Like the OP I thought 'WTF is a Jaguar doing with only one sauce pipe?' Then I realised it must be a basic 2.0D cooking model. Sorry but nothing with a 2.0 diesel 4-pot is a Jaguar!
