Managing Director of Jaguar Cars - Mike O'Driscoll,  said: “Jaguar is creating a new generation of cars that started with the XK, and now continues with the all-new XF – a four door, five passenger car that has the heart of a sports car and the looks of a grand tourer . . . We're very pleased with the reaction that the car has received, and our customer order bank is growing fast. We're grateful to What Car? for this wonderful award.”

When asked by the BBC's Declan Curry, what the XF meant to Jaguar Mr O'Driscoll said the XF is "Brimming with new technology" referring to the lack of traditional gear lever he smiled and said "This is shift by wire" , Mr O'Driscoll summed it all up by saying the XF was "a ground up all new Jaguar" and "the very best of British design" And we would have to agree
