Diesel, manual wagon – pick two. Jaguar just missed the Holy Trinity by offering their new XF Sportbrake with two diesel engines; a 2.2L 4-cylinder or a 3.0L V6 coupled to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The Sportbrake only weighs 150 lbs more than the XF sedan.

Cargo room is 19/58 cubic feet with the seats up or down, roughly on par with the Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon, the Mercedes Benz E-Class and the Audi Q5. American sales haven’t been confirmed yet – it would be surprising if they did happen – but the U.S.A would need some kind of gasoline mill, likely a V8, if the Sportbrake were to be sold here.

Maybe you can download the manual from the internet. Thanks, folks, I'll be here all week, and don't forget to tip your waitress.

Don't worry, my American friends. Jaguar is probably working on a 500-hp V8-powered SUV that gets 2 mpg which will be far more appealing. ;-)

SCE to AUX Figure 160 miles EPA if it came here, minus the usual deductions.It would be a dud in the US market.
Analoggrotto EV9 sales are rivalling the Grand Highlander's and this is a super high eATP vehicle with awesome MSRPs. Toyota will need to do more than compete with a brand who has major equity and support from the automotive journalism community. The 3 row game belongs to HMC with the Telluride commanding major marketshare leaps this year even in it's 5th hallowed year of ultra competitive sales.
