Anoop Menon With His Jaguar XF At The Showroom

 Anoop Menon finally took delivery of his Jaguar. There were rumours that Anoop acquired a Merc GL Class as well as a used Jaguar XF. Here is the confirmation!
The Jaguar XF (codename: X250) is an executive car produced by British car manufacturer Jaguar which was first revealed in autumn 2007 as a replacement for the Jaguar S-Type. The XF is the English rival to the German trio, the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes Benz E-Class.
Jaguar XF was launched in 2008 and received a positive response from the richies in India.Jaguar XF was in true sense, a head-turner for the Tata-owned British luxury car maker, Jaguar. After a steep decline in sales during recent years, the company went back to pencil and paper and redesigned its XF saloon. With the face-lifted XF, Jaguar has the potential to really take the fight to the German trio of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. The XF, which takes-on other premium luxury sedans such as the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A6, offers a great substitute in a section which is otherwise only occupied firmly by the German auto giants. But as these three big German luxury car makers launched updated versions of their offerings in this segment recently, the task Jaguar is rather tough.

Mammootty's Jaguar XJ

Nothing more to tell about Mammootty's cars. Everyone knows about his craze for cars as well as the cars in his collection.
The Jaguar XJ is the name of a series of flagship, full-size, luxury cars sold by the British automobile company, Jaguar.  The XJ line has had a long history, with the first model released in 1968. The original model was the last Jaguar saloon to have had the input of Sir William Lyons, the company's founder, and the model has been featured in countless media and high profile appearances.  The current Jaguar XJ was launched in 2009. It is one of the official cars of the royal families and UK Prime Minister.
In keeping with Ian Callum's new design direction for Jaguar, it is an all-new exterior design and a break from the XJ series mould carried over on all previous generations. It is a longer, wider car that looks much bigger than its predecessor.The front has clear links with the executive car XF, although with slimmer, sleeker lights and a larger, squarer grille and more aggressive appearance. The rear is the contentious part, like nothing Jaguar has shown before. The upright, swooping taillights, nicknamed 'cat's claws', and black roof panels each side of the rear screen, which aim to hide the XJ's width, are the most striking aspects. There is also a standard full-length sunroof, that extends all the way back with just a single body-coloured roof panel that the designer likens to bridges on yachts.

Ranveer Singh's Latest Sedan-The Jaguar XJ

Just another reminder that the celebs all over the country are going the English way. A couple of years ago a German car was considered as a perfect car for a a celebrity.
And interestingly he did not go for a single digit on the number plates like his peers.Infact, the number 6969 keeps up his Casanova image!
Considering the fact that he is just two films(released) old , the Big Cat is something really BIG!
