Why the XJ model??
Great, another absurdly expensive European diesel sedan. Who will make an affordable and economic diesel vehicle for the unwashed masses and actually import it to the US? Oh, who??

Very cool, to bad we will never see it on this side of the pond. I still miss the I6 in the XJ's.

i like that
it will give 25-28 percent better life or less wear or whatever on a car that costs what? lots of money affordable to only folks who what? already have lots of money and can afford this thing new.
never coming to america, never mind. i'm in line with pagodalover, make one the masses can aford and get it in the us of a. we are afteral the largest auto consuming market on the globe and we have the credit debt to prove it!! hattie i also miss the beautiful body the i6 was wrapped around.

I am hoping Toyota will bring an affordable one here. The Yaris coming to the US next year. Overall the package isn't terrible looking if you want a cheap hatchback, it looks quite cute.
I wonder if it will be offered in the diesel variant that is the best seeling import over in Europe? Probably not, we still want big fancy mega comfort cars to carry us through our progressively uglier, more dangerous and public service lacking world.

That engine would be very much in character with the Land Rover vehicles, torque being more important in offroading than sheer horsepower.
This should not be far-fetched, because the new Range Rovers already have the Jaguar V8 petrol engine. |

I guess I need to move to australia if I want to have new diesels. Not ready to do that yet...

$10k for a new car? That reminds me of that god awfull Kia they used to sell for under $10k. Sure it would get you their but what a crud little pos. I'd rather buy a used real car. $10k will get you a pretty new Camry or Accord.

Good point, but would it kill Toyota to put a nice 170hp+/- diesel in the Camry as an option? It will never happen the general public just doesn't want diesels. With fuel down a bit people will forget quick and go back to buying SUV's.
