Say what you will about the Jaguar X-Type wagon shooting brake you know it's a Jag when you see it. The same goes for the XJ which was totally redesigned yet still retains its identity as an XJ and nothing else. In fact the entire Jaguar line has a nice family look about it. The man responsible for the Jaguar design language Ian Callum has been awarded the highest honor the UK can muster for designers the Royal Designers for Industry award. The honor is given to recognize designers who have "achieved sustained excellence in aesthetic and efficient design for industry." In a nutshell we think what they're trying to say is that since taking the design reins at Jaguar in '99 Ian Callum has made Jaguars look great without resorting to excess frippery. Callum also has had a hand in shaping various Aston Martin Ford TWR and Ghia vehicles throughout his career. With the debut of the new XK coupe it looks like there'll be no shortage of gorgeous Jaguars for us to drool over anytime soon.

The full press release can be found after the jump.
