poor mans aston.

hl0m4n · 03-04-2008, 11:22 AM

wow looks really good. finally took off that gay antenna on the rear.

ZJP · 03-04-2008, 11:41 AM

My favorite Jag yet.

normtrum · 03-04-2008, 11:51 AM

i think it looks outstanding. Any US price estimates out yet? or even if it's coming to the US...I did read a couple hundred are being released in '08 for Europe only.

I've never liked modern jags. They have absolutely no appeal. The classics, like the E-Type, have so much soul. This is just a Jag.

Not bad, reminds me of a Aston.

Too lazy to read, what's the difference between XK-R and XK-RS?

the only real differences are cosmetic (external and internal)....same engine and power output.

basically a marketing gimmick and a good example of why this company can't get it's act together.....

bavarian19 · 03-04-2008, 05:32 PM

jags are for old men... and I mean OLD

Year's_End · 03-04-2008, 07:46 PM

Meh. Only thing I really like about it is the diffuser.

Year's_End · 03-04-2008, 07:46 PM

And those wheels are very un-Jaguar.

x5love · 03-04-2008, 08:28 PM

I think it looks great, this is what the XKR should have looked like to begin with...

The only thing I don't like it the spoiler, blah.

The_Blob · 03-04-2008, 11:00 PM

A Jag without that classic Jag emblem looks cheap. The car looks like a Hyundai Tiburon when view from the side.

I knew I didnt need to give my comments, you gave them for me

Sure the XK-R is great but there was room for improvement as reviews pointed out. I think the same applies to the XK-R-S. We were all expecting a more powerful, faster model to top the range, but they didnt give us it

Regarding design, wheels are stupid and take class away from the overall design. I wanted to see a new front bumper and wheels to seperate the car from the XK and XK-R. The only good thing is the rear diffuser, looks great! Spoiler looks good from all angles except that side-profile!

Way to go Ford..... Steal the drawings of Aston Martin before selling it off......

footie · 03-05-2008, 06:09 AM

I prefer the clean lines of the normal XK8 but prefer the rear of this XKR-S.

Technically they didn't steal it, since AM is under the Ford marquee. Rather, was.

Slke46 · 03-05-2008, 10:58 AM

Boooring! Its just to plain and safe of a design to keep up with whats currently happening in the market!
