The X-Type, codenamed X400, was Jaguar's first compact executive car since the Jaguar Mark 1 of 1955. The X-Type was one of the last to be styled under the supervision of Geoff Lawson, with the principal designer credited as Wayne Burgess. The four-door saloon was in production from 2001 to 2009, and the range was expanded in 2004 with the five-door estate which also ended production in 2009.The estate is the first ever manufactured in series production by the company and the second-ever Jaguar estate car (the first being a conversion of the XJS into the Lynx Eventer). In North America, the estate was officially known as the "Sportwagon”. It was the first Jaguar model designed by Ian Callum.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“It [Egypt] has more wonders in it than any other country in the world and provides more works that defy description than any other place.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
“To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
