Jaguar unveiled a mildly tweaked 2008 S-Type at the Bologna Motor Show today to what we imagine could only be a reaction of complete indifference. As we reported earlier the S-Type's replacement will be called the XF and be a much better car in every way compared to its predecessor which makes a refreshened S-Type for 2008 a big snore. The changs for 2008 include disseminating the racier S-Type R's bumper and mesh grille across the entire range as well as what appear to be smoked lenses for the headlights. The latter could've already been on the S-Type as we have to admit we haven't stared one down in a while. New wheels are also being offered including a 19-inch set called "the Barcelona" on the S-Type R.

The interior also gets upgraded for 2008 with new seats and non-perforated leather and the six-speed auto is now standard across the line. There are now only four trim levels for the UK-spec S-Type that include the Spirit XS SE and R. The good news is that the R model's price has been reduced by over £5000.

You can check out more pics after the jump although Jaguar didn't put much effort into them as some are photoshopped versions of the 2007 model with the new bumper added. The exhaustive press release is also below the fold.
