Looks 90% like a maserati.
Not that it's a bad thing.

I was thinking more Aston, but it is looking great, inside and out. I wonder how Aston sales will be affected by this.

The profile, rear and interior look great in the pics. Not too sure about the front though. Will probably look good in person.

Yeah, looks WAY too much like an Aston. I sometimes confuse them on the road as it is. The whole grille shape with the headlights makes them even closer in appearance.

you guys are right...from some angles it does look like a maserati...
the car itself is distinguishable, but the proporations and other things scream maserati

the car looks great, probably the first jag that i actually like

and yeah, it does look a lot like the maserati, very interesting

I just don't like that J-shift :sad:

looks awesome... is it the embodiment of jaguars advanced lightweight concept? now offer it in a manual!

Looks good but the front end looks kinda like a ford taurus front end. The proportions look maserati. I don't mind jags but the fit/finish was pretty shoddy with the jag that I rented on a trip to vegas. The stitching on the seats were poorly done and I nearly cut my finger with the plastic molding piece on the steering wheel covering the airbag. I forgot which model it was (the low end one) but the V6 was terrible. My ex-boss had an old jag and his was smoooooth. What happened?

Gojirra99 08-26-05 07:21 AM

From the front, I still prefer the current one.
I'm sure there'll be a lot of improvements & a better car.

np20412 08-26-05 08:33 AM

Looks more like a 550 Maranello to me.

But from the front it really does look Maserati-ish

Faraaz23 08-26-05 10:30 AM

I agree it looks a lot like an Aston... but really y'all, is that a bad thing for the Jag?

I think this will make a VERY serious competitor to the 6-series... and when the convertible comes out, to the Lexus SC as well. IMHO, this looks a lot more classy and expensive/exotic than the 6 does... not to knock the 6 by any means. I'm curious to see how it handles as well. Judging on how well the new all-aluminum XJ sedan handles, i'm guessing this is going to follow suit. Is it going to be all aluminum as well? Props for Jaguar, great looking car.

VERY Aston Martinish....... But that is a GOOD thing no question. And me thinks it will sell quite well!
