I always loved panoramic roofs aka glass roofs, and had a chance to test drive an XJ with it and I have to say it was a great experience, something I might consider getting for the XE if it is an option. If it is an option, would you get it? Describe below and add your vote to the poll above.

Jaguar XJ Panoramic Glass Roof:

The airy, spacious yet private XJ cabin area is enhanced by the panoramic, heat-reflective tinted glass roof. It extends to the full width of the car and sweeps as far back as the rear seat area, filtering UV rays and flooding the interior with natural light. In addition, the black roof pillars create the impression of a floating roofline, emphasizing the long, low and wide profile of the XJ.

This stunning design was fully imagined before a single physical panel was formed. The XJ was constructed virtually in one of the world’s most advanced vehicle design simulators at the Jaguar Virtual Reality Center. There, every component was modeled in over 43,000 separate 3D simulations, and close to 2.5 million miles were covered on virtual journeys across the world’s most harsh and arduous terrain.

I don't really know. I had for one winter a Peugeot 307 SW with a glass roof and there was the problem, that the moisture in the car went on the glass roof and been frozen over the night. On the next day, when you drove and the car getting warmer inside, the ice melted and water dropped on your head and on the seats.

Sure that is only a problem when it is really cold outside, but it would be an important point for me to think about.
