Not bad at all. Actually, quite good for Jag as of late.

I like those numbers! Those EPA numbers are something I think most people with a supercharged V8, and the financial security to purchase a 130,000 dollar car, would be comfortable with. Oh, and this must be incredible: "502 lb-ft @ 2,500 rpm."

What's more is I'm loving that interior & especially those seats.

My one gripe, and it's the only thing that sticks out too much, to me, is the front clip. What were they thinking with this:



This shot just makes me angry; I see a mutant-mutt, born of a SRT-4, Hyundai Tiburon, and a Mitsubishi 3000GT/Eclipse. That's not a thought I want entering my head, or anyone else who sees me driving its head, if I'm buying a $130,000 car.


I'm interested to see how they do in the market.

Don't do that. Let's keep the comparisons pragmatic.

Not hardly. The only resemblance I see is in the drive train.
For sure.

As for the front, I'm seeing Shelby GT500 or way old Shelby Cobra... just a bit, thanks to that gaping hole. Not my favorite thing either, but the overall car sure seems cool

Wait... It just hit me... CATFISH!

Not bad and yes that interior/those seats are pretty sweet.




I also see some TVR in there as well.

I will never get why Europeans put wide wheels on a car, and do mnot maximize the tire size.

9 in wide front wheel, 255 tire.

GT500s runn 255s on 9.5" wide wheels.
It has to do with turn in, balancing and making sure the tire is the coirrect height.

I would prefer the tires to be wider as well, if not only for a little more rim protection.

The front end reminds me of this:



I prefer the base XKR's looks:



I don't want my car to have jowls, sorry...

Im with Z32 looks like a tiburon catfish with jowls, i prefer the looks of the base model. I did see a base model today driving and let me say it definitely caught my attention and looked AMAZING.
