im guessing its a camparo because the AMV8 would be the XKRs most direct competitor.

Yes. The V8 Vantage looks better, but the XKR is more comfortable, a bit cheaper, goes a little better and so on.

In the end, you have the choise of driving an Aston Martin, or driving a Jaguar.

If you exchange "Aston Martin" with "BMW M6", the Jaguar would be the cooler choise. But Aston Martin will allmost allways be the cooler car.

Why did I watch that video? I knew it would only make the wait seem that much longer! images/smilies/tongue.gif

From what they showed, it looks like they have most certainly not sissied-down Top Gear! images/smilies/biggrin.gif
