I too lust after the XK.......It's one beautiful machine. I was looking at a new 6 or a 911. I saw the XK and the wife went a little nuts. We setteled for a 330 xi. I figure I really wanted a Z8, but a little tight on that much cash for a daily driver. I all but went to the Jag dealer to put the order in. I was just skeptical of a new model reliability from Jag, (Ford), as it will be a daily driver. But IT IS ONE SWEET RIDE!! If you are going to get an XK, you have to wait for the '07...a much more beautiful car than the '06.
