Current SL gen got no appeal impact like the previous gen had. Maybe because it's pretty much the same looking car as the one released ten years ago and it looks deformed and piggish, kind of like previous gen 5 series.

I vote Jag on this one, XKR-S trim is a true exotic although car itself is just visual sex and nothing more.

If you wanna go Jag you have to have ***** to get that XFR-S with Evo spoiler

Agree with all your statements.

While I like the power and tech improvements in the latest SL, the design leaves me cold. Even though the XKR-S or the XK rather is ancient at this point, that 5.0 supercharged V8 is rip roaring and the car is more raw than the SL which is more buttoned down.
