This is great news, at least they know the XE is well in demand and that it will be successful right from launch and even well beyond that.

OK, please don't take this the wrong way, but would you expect Mercedes or AUDI to say 15k A4 or C-Class cars before launch, no, they are talking hundreds of thousands, infarct they talk about better than ever, Jaguar is in that market, where hundreds of thousands worldwide is not only achievable, but expected.
The XE, although most have not seen it, is stunning, that's the least you can expect, and with a brand new platform, brand new engines, brand new interior plastics and leathers, teh money is being spent, I don't understand how such a small figure is being bandied about especially when they currently sell 4k XK's and the same amount of F-Types worldwide as the estimates for XE.
It could, but is not, but could be looked at as though they have little confidence in the product, thats why they come in so **** low, even XT sold more than that, and that got slated from day one, even though it was a really good car, and I do miss mine, and the XF, but hey I got an XE on order that all that matters
REALLY - D A M N has been omitted, but bloody is not oooo LOL

The issue when bringing Merceds/Audi/BMW in as benchmarks is that their vehicles already have YEARS of precedent on the market. When they talk about better than ever they have a baseline to compare to, Jaguar has no precedent to fall back on here... unless you want to count X-Type... 0
I think that you are seeing Jaguar as equal to the German brands instead of competing with the German brands. We are only talking about jaguar's own estimates here, its not like we came out with these numbers.
Maybe Jaguar will sell more of these than they think they are going to but I think that the hundreds of thousands is just not going to happen.
@1xejon is getting pretty feisty here.

No, far from it, jaguar have never given sales figures for ANY car before launch, they never have, the 15k figure was most probably put in but some hack that decided to cause issues or has no idea about sales figure, I have no idea.
I am making the point that Jaguar Land Rover have invested over £5 billion over the last few years and will need to recoup that quite quickly, so they can get on with the new XF, XJ, XJC XJL XFC XFCC XFSB QX, QXL along with FOUR new Discovery models, 6 Defender models, a new Baby Range Rover, the Evoque XL, and a rumoured but God I hope not Evoque CC, I have seen the pictures and it is far from pretty.
15k is less than XF sales and less than F-Type sales, worldwide, and this car is supposed to be the great white hope for Jaguar, I only get Feisty, when I read inaccurate info that is being taken as read is correct, if the XE sells less, by design, than the XF, then each model will lose around £10k per unit based on R & D, and its part of the new i54 plant, as well as the expansion at SH and rumoured massive expansion elsewhere in the UK. I am hoping that the 15k is North American sales only.
I have not mentions Hundreds of thousands, I did mention up to 100k, no more, Yes i get excited, I love the brand, and always have, along with many other British brands, some long forgotten, and I wont apolgise for it, I am sorry if i come across a but "feisty", but i just cant abide inaccuracies, especially wildly incorrect ones.
I have chilled now
