It looks nice - I think it is great that they still uses the old shape!

Ahh sexy!

maybe jaguar can widen their market and not just 50+ old farts.

i thought at first it would look like a baby DB9, but they actually did a wonderful job keeping the looks seperate.

It looks very similair to the Lightweight concept presented earlier. The rear end is a bit strange though IMO.

It's very beautiful, but lacks in aggressivity to me

nice car though, much better then the present XK

It's similar to the Adavnced Lightweight Concept... but at the same time keeps the essence of the old XK. I think it's a great combination... because the current XK needed a replace and the ALC was too "concept" and too close to the DB9 looks. Good job! :D
I couldn't have said it better. It may have be almost 100% similar to the Advanced Lightweight Concept, but those little changes made it more of a Jag, and less of a derived Aston Martin.

I don't like the fact that the rear lights ( not the outside shape) are too complicated, thy look so busy.

They should just be red and white and no freakin circles. I hate it. The rear lights I mean.

The rest of the car looks cool.

i think they're the same design, just smaller and less detailed on the production version. the concept's were so expensive that Jag could only make four of them.

as for the car, it's gorgeous. i don't know why jaguar even bothered with making a concept that is almost identical.
Chaos in 1983!

I like it...well it is a lot better than the current one. The front looks good, although I must say the front inlet would look better if it were a bit bigger, it would give it a more aggressive look.

The back looks very good, but those circles in the lighs look aweful, way too busy. I guess they're looking to modernize the brand, looking for a younger audience...which is good.

I am thinking of the completely opposite. I like the front a lot, but I do not like the rear. It needs to be wider or something.

Overall very nice design.

Anyone got the new EVO? Mr callum (i think) who designed the newer astons and this talks about it and its comparisons to the astons.

He makes a good point that actually the Astons are more like jags rather than vice versa if you go by previous models eg pre 90's - especially the E-type

hmm.. at first glance i thought of a Ford Taurus lookin at the front of that car..

is this based on the new aston martins?

No, it'll be based on the new XJ platform, i believe. Aluminum power!

*all Aston Martins share the VH platform.

not a big fan of the front at all! It is like an austin martin that has been hit with the ugly stick
