Although not a fan of retro for retros sake, I do like the hard top E-type clues in the rear end. Another nice looking car spoiled by needlessly enormous diameter alloys, though.

Good old Ford - only now it'd jaguar following Aston Martin - I wonder if it has Mondeo underpinnings!

Good old Ford -


Remember if it wasn't for Ford there would be no new XK or any new Jaguar cars. (look what happened to another West Midlands car company)

Shame, it looks very unremarkable to me.

The outgoing/current XKR is IMO one of the best looking cars ever made.

My dad has an XK8 and in my opinion its a better looking car than this new one. Maybe its better in real life, but I think it looks uninspiring.

If I'd met it in the street with a Maserati trident on it I would not have been surprised, which can't be too bad. Little trace of original XKs though.

I like it.

Looks like a cross between a Maserati from the front and a TT from the back.

I think the styling is perhaps aimed at younger people for a change?

Looks OK, but with many so many 'ordinary' cars looking either beautiful or striking, there is, perhaps, nowhere left for the performance coupe designers to go. The new TVR with the bizarre giant exhaust pipes illustrates this point.

Cheers, SS
