NO! Is that the upcoming XKR coupe? I've seen the XK8's around and I really don't like the new body style, front headlights just aren't agressive enough for me, and the whole car is like a fancy eclipse. - Suneet

overall i would say it looks good, BUT:

1. ian cullum hasnt really tried. has too much of a AM.
2. that mesh grill looks like cheapes aftermarket backyard installation.
3. the front lights really remind me of some other cheap cars (huyndai coupe).

Ken, I am really looking forward to your impressions after driving the XKR.
Had I known about it, I would have seriously considered it along the Cayman S and the M Coupe.
Thanks,

I like it. I hope it catches on. Jaguar is floundering real bad right now and their future pretty much hangs on the sucess of this model.

I think it's a real shame that Ford has ruined Jaguar the way they did and I hope that someone saves the company. I don't think Ford will stick with it.

"Foundering" is sinking below the surface of the water, to fail utterly and completely. "Floundering" is fishing for flounder.

Too much mesh grillework. A formerly classic touch morphing into a styling gimmick seems to be an unavoidable fact of automotive design. I would delete the chin mesh and that would do it. This Jag is much closer to the new Astons than to the old XK series in flavor. I personally would have stayed "retro" since the XK series were so perfectly shaped and styled.

C.G. Mojo: Gator Bite is correct in the use of "floundering" (to struggle to move or obtain footing) although I think either floundering or foundering would be descriptive of Ford's handling of Jaguar. I learned to drive in a Mark VII saloon and have a special affinity for the breed, however, I can't get excited over the XKR.

Oops.... Thanks for the correction. I did mean 'Foundering'. That darn 'l' just snuck it's way in there on me.

These are not original observations, but here they are: They're desperate. It looks highly derivative of a modern Aston Martin.
