Subject: Future Jaguars Will Have Their Own Platforms – No More Sharing
With Other Fords
From:
ews/evo_news_story_main.php?1&id=35112
The replacements for the S-Type and X-Type won’t share their underpinnings
with Ford cars as first thought, but instead be engineered for a more
sporting drive. At present, the X-Type and Mondeo have a common floorpan,
while the S-Type has the same chassis as the US-built Lincoln LS.
“Ford has learned its lesson and upcoming Jags will have to be unique to
compete with rivals such as BMW,” said a source within the Coventry-based
firm.
