I've seen a couple of (or perhaps the same one in diff. locations) black convertible XK's and they're incredible.

Here's a nice pic of a non-convertible from Jaguar's site.

It might be another car where pics don't really do it justice though.

 

Big version:

 

Paul I agree 100%. Two-Times (Aaron) and discuss it all the time. It is one of the few coupes today that is truly beautiful to look at. Not trendy, not gaudy, just a blend of class and agressiveness.

 

I think the coupe looks better than the convertible. This one looks really nice but I think the last gen looked a little better, that car was so beautiful. I was really close to buying one last summer but I chose the GS instead because I was afraid of the maintenance costs. These Jags lose their value VERY quickly, if you can handle the potential maintenance, they're a great deal used

 

I love it.

It was designed by Ian Cullum, who designs cars for Aston Martin.

If you can't afford an Aston Vantage ($130k), you can get the XK-R for $40k less....

 

Oh hell yea. Always been a huge Jag fan. Think they still make some of the best looking cars on the road.

Reading countless reviews on the XK, seems like there isnt much to complain about either. Best though was seeing Top Gear give it higher marks than the Aston. That was a shocker.

Pic I took 2 weeks ago at NYIAS...

 

 

 

I like the coupe better than the convertible version also. I agree the new XK looks good from most angles(still dislike the headlights) but the last generation XK looks better overall. And here, there's a dealership that sells both the Jag & the Aston, & it's hard to fall in love with the XK with the Aston's in the same show room . . .

 

bit, please excuse me as I have a lot of enthusiasm for this car. Here is my blog on myspace about it and I added more to it.
XK-R=sex, lots of sex..its beautiful
There are some cars that look good in pics and **** poor in person. There are some cars that look **** poor in pics and good in person. There are some cars that look good to some people and not so good to some people.

Then you have cars like this one, rare gems. Designed by Ian Callum, this car is just perfect in proportions, PERIOD. Even with Europe trying to destroy good looking cars with asinine "pedestrian" safety protection, Ian got it right. If you don't understand the beauty in this car, don't visit my page again and we should probably ban you from the internet. This car is fantastic and seeing it in person, just made me drool and I couldn't stop hunching it. Overall its a fantastic car, 420hp S/C V-8, aluminum and handles fantastic. The interior is nice but IMO, its not nice enough. Oh and Jag, where is the #()$()# sunroof??

You might say to yourself "looks kinda like an Aston Martin" well it was designed by Mr. Callum who was at Aston Martin previously. His work on the DB 7 and 9 are perfect as well.

In an era where designers'
1. Copy
2. Copy and do a **** poor job
3. Make the computer that designed robo-cop, design cars.
4. Have never seen clay.
5. Are drunk...95% of the day and draw cars that way.
6. Think random lines add "energy" and "athleticism" when really, it just adds dumbass lines to the car.
7. Think "HEY LOOK AT ME" design is what is beautiful.
8. Think giant FENDERFLARES are the answer and then tell the engineers to slap 24" wheels on or the car will look ridiculous.

It is refreshing to see something as BEAUTIFUL as this come out.

More pics. I love this car!!

 

This is a gorgeous automobile. There is one always parked on the lot at a local Jaguar dealer and I can't stop looking at that car everytime I pass by there. Its a black coupe and IMO it is the best looking coupe that can be had for uner $100k brand new. I dont like the coupe as much, but in general, I dont like many convertibles.

 

pure sex. ill take an XKR in black, thanks. black leather with light wood and luxury package. if only i had 100k....

 

So this is the car who's design was inspired by Kate Winslet...hmmm...

...I think it's quite attractive

 

This car is a winner looks wise.

 

There are a lot of things I like about this car, and I'm definitely warming up to it real badly especially after sitting in one at the auto show. However, damn those European pedestrian laws for making the snout so huge, high and ungainly!!! Several people have said it looks Taurus-y and it definitely doesn't look as bad in pictures but think about how gorgeous this car would have been without those 'tarded pedestrian laws in place. P.S. I also don't really get the headlamps. I feel like their shape doesn't really flow with anything else on the car. Other than that, it's hard to not absolutely love the rest of it; the greenhouse, those Jaguar cat shoulders, the smooth, taut lines. Beautiful!
