Hugh Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 http://www.autoblog.com/2015/01/28/2017-jaguar-xe-first-drive-review/ This looks pretty good in the traditional sense. I would like to see what direction the rumored Lincoln compact is going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Drivetrain of the focus RS, with the power dialed back a little bit, 6 or 7 speed auto trans, then give it a nicer interior a-la MKC, perhaps the black label treatment as well, there's your subcompact lincoln. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Nice! Wait, did you mean compact or subcompact? Edited January 30, 2015 by Hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Subcompact, or whatever the focus it will be built off of is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Subcompact, or whatever the focus it will be built off of is Compact. As for the XE....I think it looks good except for the taillights - they're too large to me for the rest of the design and the size of the rear end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) The XE 'S' model has the 3.0L Supercharged for the top end. I wonder if our compact could fit a EB27 in there? Then again it's probably not nessecary. Edited January 30, 2015 by Hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I honestly thought the side profile pics were of a BMW. A bit derivative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Actually looks pretty nice for a compact car...outside of the CLA, is prob the best looking compact on the market. The 1 series looks like a runt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
