I love the old Jag XK but the new one is even cooler. The only thing stopping it from being subzero is the Aston V8 Vantage.

Not what it should have been if they intend to save the Jaguar company.

I wasn't THAT impressed during my test drive, namely due to the lack of power. The automatic gearbox was also a bit of a pain to use as it wouldn't keep gears in manual mode...

But it's still a cool car, if at least due to the looks, sound and feel. But only by "just". Rear seats are pretty much useless... I'd rather they made it a simple 2 seater, rather then "cheat" two extra seats in the back... the original XK had real space in the rear. This car IS however very comfortable.

Remember to think like JC!! This car, under JC's standard, can't be cool. Dont just base your voting to looks. Remember its an AM rip-off.

I voted for Cool!! But it's not much :roll:

The car looks really good, but not as good as the stunning concept.

But I would never buy one.... 8)
