Viggen · January 10th, 2005, 07:39 PM

Perhaps a glimpse at the next XK coupe.

Hmm front is really nice, think the back will be changed. Thumbsup.

btw. Why do they open the boot? I want to see what's under the hood :S

LoudPipe · January 10th, 2005, 07:47 PM

Ohhhhhh

So beautiful images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Vicconius · January 10th, 2005, 07:58 PM

I don't know if I like it. It's very derivative and lacks character. The front lights remind me of a Dodge Stealth, the side windows and roof line are Porsche 911, the rear quarter panels are DB9, Crossfire rear end, and the interior is pure Honda.

Things I do like. The oval grill (getting old though), the hood bulge, and the rear exhaust coming into one like the old E-Type V-12. Jag needs to look at what Aston Martin is doing and start building some character into their cars. The DB9 is an instant classic.

Ultra_Kool_Dude · January 10th, 2005, 08:04 PM

I feel an instant attraction to that. images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

zeroSignal · January 10th, 2005, 08:12 PM

The shape is a bit DB9-ish, but overall, I like it. The front needs a bit more character - I like the current 'cut-out' light shape of the XK. But overall, not bad.

Bitko · January 10th, 2005, 08:21 PM

This car looks very nice, and if they work on the back it would look great.

Dr. Woo · January 10th, 2005, 08:26 PM

I'll post exactly what I just said aloud to myself:

"WHAT THE FUCK?!"

It certainly looks like Ford is sticking its dirty, grubby fingers into yet another facet of the beloved Jaguar brand. It's so obviously...Ford.

mmap · January 10th, 2005, 08:30 PM

Have to agree with dr. woo, the firs thing that came to my ind was Ford! it so reminds me somehow of some ford concept I might have seen, the rear has some cougar dna in it definitely... otherwise a good looking car. I just want all the fordness of it.

p0w3r · January 10th, 2005, 08:40 PM

i really like the front of the car. I think it looks awesome. The lights, a bit less awesome, but okay. The rear, however, i don't like as much..it just seems weird for some reason.

Oh, and i also really like those rims images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

MXM · January 10th, 2005, 09:23 PM

I dunno. Looks like a plastic toy. Too many shiny details and sharp edges (for jag). I didn't even recognize it as a Jaguar (didn't read the subject first).

Overheat · January 10th, 2005, 09:53 PM

It's not bad, but it's not very, well... Jaguar.

Daniel · January 10th, 2005, 10:43 PM

Whats up with the grill? The rest of the car looks so good, and then that grill ruines it all for me. images/smilies/yucky.gif

Yeah, I was thinkin' the same thing. Had to double check that it was really a Jag and not an Aston.

Buba · January 11th, 2005, 12:00 AM

Looks like an Aston... Which isn't bad... I'm not that much of a Jag fan anyway...

I gotta agree with you guys. Look at any jag nowadays and you can just instantly tell that it's a jag from the sillouette. Gotta double check with that one.

mike_tseng · January 11th, 2005, 12:49 AM

i think Jaguar was lazy and they stole Aston's design papers and photocopied them. then ford said to put the XK 's front bumper with a double-chin and someone from mazda said to put some really ricer tail-lights.

just my thought... images/smilies/thumbdown.gif

Roland · January 11th, 2005, 03:31 AM

I think it looks great. As mentioned it is quite similar to a db9, however i think the db9 is just a bit more beautiful. And if i would like a Jag I would also want it to look like a Jag. The usual Jag characteristics just aren't obvious enough images/smilies/sad.gif

jasonchiu · January 11th, 2005, 06:39 AM

i tihnk the front lights looks liek a ford couger

qube · January 11th, 2005, 11:48 AM

Looks ace, I've driven the current shape XKR quite a lot and love it.

Could be a bit quicker though.

The XK8/R and the DB7 were similar cars so it makes sense that the new XK will be similar to the DB9.
