It did, its a 1970s design. Jaguar went through a period with Soviet-like production runs and development periods. The XJ40 was already 10 years old the day it first went on sale.

Yeah I liked the early ones, but by this point they were just so long in the tooth

I kind of wish it was still possible to walk into a dealer and buy a car from a completely different era that’s somehow still for sale. Like, if Lincoln was still selling a facelifted Mark VIII.

Everything’s become so homogenized now.

British brands in general, my 1990 Range Rover is basically the same as a 1970 or a 1995.

It was 20 years old then.  You can see Ford in the mild facelift, too, with the slightly rounded window trim and chrome, somehow reminiscent of a period Crown Vic or Grand Marq.

These look better now than they did 20+ years ago.
