Scheduled to debut on September 8th in London, the Jaguar XE executive sedan has already been teased quite a number of times. Jaguar is known to be provocative with its promotional and advertisement campaigns lately and has done it again for the XE sedan!

Jaguar XE promoted by camouflaged side — A camouflaged BMW 3 Series doing rounds in Germany, displaying the Jaguar XE's promotional website.

In what can be considered a cheeky promotional technique, Jaguar has camouflaged the XE's German rivals - Mercedes C Class, Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series. The camouflaged rivals display a prominent website address on their doors - Der-neue.com - which translate into "The-New".

Jaguar XE promoted by camouflaged BMW 3 Series rear — The Jaguar XE is looking to dethrone the 3-Series as the driver's car of the segment.

It's only when the curious beholders log into the mentioned URL do they come to know that it's indeed a handy work of Jaguar. The website asks for the visitor's email ID by saying "Learn more about the new Jaguar on 29/07/2014". The mention of a date earlier to the official unveil suggests that Jaguar could unveil the car online before the first public appearance.
