No, it won't share a Taurus platform.  The Taurus is front-wheel drive, not
rear-wheel drive.  The new entry-level Jag sedan will be rear-wheel drive.
The only Ford product (at this time) sharing with a Jag product is the new
Lincoln LS6 and LS8 sedans (the LS6 offers a 5-speed manual 'box!!).  And
yes, the new Jag is very similar to it's namesake.
