CONFIRMED:

XF: The 2009 Jaguar XF marks a radical departure from the S-Type it replaces. Styling is unique for Jaguar, though the new XF bears a passing resemblance to the XK sport coupe. Power comes from a 4.2 liter V8, with both naturally aspirated (300 hp) and supercharged (420 horsepower) versions available. The six-speed automatic transmission gets an industry-first dial selector as well as steering-wheel-mounted shifter paddles.

XJ: XJ8 and XJ8 L models get a 320 watt Alpine stereo, navigation system, and front park assistance system as standard. The new Super V8 Portfolio model features black or gold paint, unique 20" wheels, special interior trim, and SIRIUS satellite radio. XJR, Super V8 and Vanden Plas models are unchanged.

XK: XK and XKR models get an upgraded surround-sound stereo with USB input jack and SIRIUS satellite radio, climate control with automatic air-quality-sensing recirculation system, front park assistance system, and power-folding mirrors. The new XKR Portfolio features unique interior and exterior trim, 16-way power seats, Bowers & Wilkins stereo and special 20" wheels.
