While randomly looking through new car photos etc, I stumbled opon this photo..
On looking at the page I followed from it, it seems to be the new X-Type set to rival the A3 and Mercedes A class. (CLC quoted as but now we know its a CLA)

Couldn't find a thread for it so I hope this hasn't been posted before.. It does look similar in the front to the new F-Type but I'm hoping that's just a coincidence.

Jaguar engineers are working on an all-new front-drive baby saloon that will spearhead sales in India and China, as well becoming one of the company’s leading new models in the all-important US market. It should be launched by 2015 and is likely to built in the UK and India.
According to sources in India, the new model is thought to be about 4.5 metres long and will be powered by Jaguar Land Rover’s all-new three-cylinder, 1.5-litre engine and four-cylinder, 1.8 and 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol and diesels. Sophisticated new-generation eight and nine-speed automatic gearboxes are also thought to be on the menu.
The car’s closest conceptual rivals in the showroom are expected to be the upcoming Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLC small saloons, both of which have been previewed as concepts.
The baby Jaguar, however, won’t be a budget model. Some estimates say it will cost from £22,000.There will be a number of variations on the mainstay four-door, including a coupé and possibly a small roadster, but there’s no news on whether Jaguar will build a hatchback rival for the future Mercedes A-class. However, the British company has already created a hatchback concept called the RD-6 back in 2003.
