New Jaguar XK

Merc1 · 01-12-2006, 02:57 AM

I know the hardcore Germancarfans don't care much for Jaguars, but this car is gorgeous in nearly every way until you get a look at the front. That gaping fish look I'm still having trouble. Anyway some pics:

Doesn't look so hot from this angle to me.

Slightly worse here.

At least the booty is nice.

I care about Jaguar. My boss own the old XK, hopefully he replace it with this new one.

Everything on that car looks great except front!

Pitty...

All they need to do is move the Jaguar emblem back to between the headlights instead of in the grill and it will look a lot better. Can anyone do this in photoshop for consideration?

Well I dunno if that would help much. I think Jag does what Mercedes does and leaves the emblem on the grille for the sporty models. I personally really really like this car a lot. Front and all. Sure it looks terrible from some angles, most cars would look goofy from the angles those pictures were taken in. No offense to the photographer. But yea. I think this car will be a smash hit when it's launched. Something Jag needs really bad. May this be the sign of things to come.

Oh no doubt it will be a hit, and a darker color will ease the look of the front end. A dark blue or black one would be stunning I'm sure.

Dude, that's not new...And we already have few threads on this!

I like it but to bad they don't come manual. For me a convertible or a coupe has to be stick most of the time.

I love how these jags share so many similarities to the bigger bro's of Aston Martin which is operated by Ford which is the same operator of Jag.
