Jaguar launches XK Exterior Styling Pack

Just_me · 01-25-2007, 03:30 PM

Jaguar has launched a new appearance package for XK buyers seeking a "more distinctive" look. The "Exterior Styling Pack," which debuts in March, mimics design cues already available in kits for the X- and S-Type.

The new XK Exterior Styling Pack consists of a front valance, rear valance, upper and lower mesh grilles in a choice of bright or black finish, sill appliqués as well as new exhaust tailpipe finishers, giving the vehicle an "aura of self-confidence."

Jaguar Design Director, Ian Callum said: "We have designed a range of accessory products to visually emphasise the stance and presence of the XK. The enhancements we have made for the XK Exterior Styling Pack give the car an even more stylish and purposeful look by deliberately lowering the visual stance of the car and creating exciting new elements that work with the elegant profile of XK."

The Exterior Styling Package can be retro-fitted to all non-supercharged new XKs from launch.

I'm not sure if I like this or not, it really doesn't seem to be warranted:

Seems like overkill to me. The XK, specifically the XKR has all the styling you'll ever need on this car. This ESP almost looks like some type of cheesy aftermarket mess.
