The Jaguar XJ's weird D-pillar




I've been a fan of the Jaguar XJ since it's inception (well - except for a brief time in the late 80's, but who wants to remember anything from the 80's anyway). But that weird-ass D-pillar on the new one completely destroyed my feelings for the new one. It just looks stupid. Maybe if the whole roof were black, but as it is now it looks like a manufacturing error. And those Lancia Thesis taillights are that great either. It's a shame - the XF turned out so well.

Yes the pillar is weird and the taillights looks just like the ones fitted to the Lancias at the time.
