Estate car

oops. there appears to be a difference between estate and estate car. well done, hcheney. akaDruid 17:41, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

No problem. I'll probably try to create some more Jaguar articles in the coming weeks. --Hcheney 18:08, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

X-TYPE in capitals?

I've just added the X-TYPE picture. Out of interest I went to www.jaguar.com to see how the name of the car is written and it's Jaguar X-TYPE (in capitals). I've also checked in Google Images and found two rear-view pics of the X-TYPE that clearly show the capitals. So should I change all references to X-type to X-TYPE? This applies to S-TYPE as well. I don't know how to change the article title nor the template at the bottom. - Adrian Pingstone 16:01, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

You're quite right, and they should be moved. There's a move tab to rename articles, and the template can be edited at Template:Jaguar or by clicking on the link at the bottom. I'll have a shot at these now if I get time. Nice job on the photos, again! akaDruid 16:49, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I've moved X-Type to X-TYPE and S-Type to S-TYPE, reworked the articles, and updated the template. I'm not 100% sure about Jaguar S-TYPE, since I think the 1963 S-Type was not capitalised - certainly the contempary E-Type wasn't. I wonder which should be reflected in the title? If there is enough information, the pages could be split, but that would cause some ambiguaty problems. akaDruid 17:09, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Most vehicles use all-caps on the flank/rear badges. But yes, it looks like Jaguar uses all caps in writing as well. Every other reference I looked at (press coverage) uses "X-Type", though. And X-TYPE hurts my eyes! Of well, we move it but keep redirects. Note that the old S-Type was NOT all caps. --SFoskett 19:00, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)

The Manual of Style says something like if the word is an acronym, it should go in capital letters, but in lower-case in other cases. Besides, many manufacturers use capital letters on short names. I thik it should go with Title Case, as the article's name.

This article and the one for the S-Type have been vastly improved in terms of readability by spelling them in non-caps. Just simply looking at X-TYPE and S-TYPE used again and again among otherwise normal text nearly made my eyes water. Chaparral2J (talk) 06:46, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Estate car

In this section there is written the X-TYPE estate car is the second ever Jaguar estate car. I really can't see which has been the first (if any).

Supposedly there was a one off estate version of the XJS, but I don't have a cite handy. Certainly its the first production model Alastairward 15:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

You're right, it was the 'shooting break', a break derived from a sports car (like Volvo P1800 ES or Aston Martin DB5 Shooting Break). Technically, it's not the same as an estate car, especially not the same as the X-Type break.

Lynx produced a limited number of XJS estate cars. These were after market conversions and so not Jaguar products: http://www.lynxmotors.co.uk/eerf.htm http://austin-rover.co.uk/lynxeventf.htm

Jaguar produced a prototype XJ40 estate: http://austin-rover.co.uk/index.htm?2003necf.htm (scroll about 1/2 way down)

and Avon produced this rathe awkward and clumsy looking Series 3 estate: http://austin-rover.co.uk/avonxj6f.htm

Also, the X-type wagon, err, estate car, apparently was one of the poorest-selling models in many years. The article doesn't mention this, though. --RyanTee82 (talk) 03:39, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

"It was the first Jaguar model designed by Ian Callum." Ian STYLED the car, he certainly didn't design it. What do you think the other 1500+ engineers on that project did? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LewisR (talk • contribs) 05:04, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

X-Type R

An X-Type R version of the car was developed. It used a 330bhp supercharged V6 engine (AJ67 IIRC). That engine was placed into a number of modified Mondeos which also ran the 4wd system as development cars. The engine was also being developed for Jaguar's 2nd attempt at an E-Type replacement, the X600. All three (R, SC engine & X600) programmes were haulted though for possibly one or more of the following reasons: Overall developement costs, durability of 330bhp in the bottom end of the V6, the V6 wouldn't package in the proposed X600.

"The 2006 Jaguar X-Type 3.0 is backed up by its 528 horsepower. " Sorry? What's that about? LewisR (talk) 05:01, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Engines

The article states "The Jaguar AJ-V6 engine design is unique to the Jaguar X-Type".
This is false.
The 2.5 & 3.0 V6 were both used in the S-Type, and the 3.0 was used in the X250 XF, X350 XJ and Lincoln LS. LewisR (talk) 04:35, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
