Jaguar has been pushing its product with the Gorgeous campaign for over a year now, but anyone who thinks that the current S-type can be properly described as such probably needs a new prescription for corrective lenses. To show that it's aware of the problem, the British automaker rolled out the C-XF concept into Cobo Arena last night as a hint towards what corrective action we can expect when the new XF replaces Jag's aging entry-level sedan.
The car's entire shape is drawn around the recessed metal-mesh grille, and perhaps this is the most production-ready aspect of the C-XF's styling. The striking silhouette follows the current design trend towards making four doors blend into a couple-like rooflines, and is augmented with short front and long rear overhangs (the latter of which tapers dramatically); unfortunately, that probably won't make it to the production XF. Inside, carbon fiber mixes with poplar - blackened with torches - and copious amounts of machined aluminum to provide a rather gorgeous interior experience. Especially noteworthy are the trio of B&W drivers in the rear parcel shelf, and a rotary shifter residing in place of a conventional lever.
Check out the for 66 shots from the official introduction and the press release can be found after the jump.

Jaguar Events In The States.
Jan-07-2007
I dropped in to the Joondalup AppleCentre, to clap my eyes on a 17-inch SuperDrive iMac and Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar), and to see what is said to be the biggest AppleCentre in Perth. The guy there told me he had already sold all his copies of Jaguar. It was pretty quiet though.
Here is a report from MacCentral on some of the Jaguar launch events in the United States.

“I really like Apple’s OS X. I think Apple has done a wonderful job of combining the best of their user-friendly operating system with powerful Unix-based underpinnings. But previous versions of OS X haven’t been very helpful in allowing me to do work on the Microsoft network at my office. Apple says OS X Jaguar will change all that. I wanted to see if that was true.”
