I've been trolling at (new) X-Types myself. There's a lot of ways they don't look the same, but that first pic posted (the silver one I think), is a dead ringer for a contour/mystique...
And there's tons of similar features, plus it's the right size, has a bit of power, it's a freaking jaguar and that's freaking cool!
But then I'm not too keen on the idea of having 2 cars that are that similar, OTOH a friend of mine was pushing me towards a CSVT (I don't drive a stick! *RUNS!*) -- and my mom would never pay towards one.
Didn't care for the later contour/mystique interior anyway, the only thing that bugs me about the x-type is the front grille (which can be swapped real easy).
