    Thanks for the link.

    The new generation XK is a huge disappointment for me. The styling is pretty much awful, the 0-60 shows that it is still a fatty, and saying that the build quality is better than the AM isn't exactly bragging about much.

    I owned an XKR for a couple years and had heard that the next generation was going to be spectacular. Turns out spectacular wasn't exactly the correct word.

    I dont know, I like the new styling on the XK. It looks pretty good, not the fastest car but pretty damn nice.

    I want to see a Shaguar XK very similair to BMW's excellent Z8.

    Just a basic luxury sports car that is beautiful w a simple top

    The new XK is seriously Fugly, I'd take the MB or a Vette over it in a heartbeat

    Agreed, William. I honestly see a lot of Taurus in that front end.

    After the countless problems I had with my XKR and the terrible effort on this new XK, I honestly think Jag is going to continue their legacy of consistently losing money.
