Jaguar has unveiled the 2013 XF Sportbrake, which is the wagon version of the XF. The XF Sportbrake is entirely new from the B-pillars back and has up to 59 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down, making it the most versatile XF.

"The XF epitomizes the Jaguar sporting dynamic with its combination of innovative, seductive design and performance. In the XF Sportbrake this is complemented by a no-compromise approach to practicality and versatility." -Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director, Jaguar Cars

"Creating the Sportbrake was a great opportunity for us to extend the XF's design aesthetic. The flow and connection of lines that lead the eye around the car result in an entirely practical estate car consistent with Jaguar's reputation for drama and elegance." -Wayne Burgess, Studio Director, Jaguar Design

the XF Sportbrake is powered by either a 2.2L four-cylinder or 3.0L diesel engine, both of which are mated to an eight-speed gearbox. Jaguar hasn't stated if the XF Sportbrake will be offered with any of its gasoline engines or if it will be offered in the U.S.
I've always liked Jags (irrational as that is). I'd like to see a comparison between this and an Allroad or Avant. The 3L diesel has me curious :)

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.
