I've always seen the XKR as a poor man's Vantage anyways.

I really don't see these being that different and think they both fit the car?

My problem is the asthetics - which as I always say, are a stupid thing to argue about because it's all personal preference; therefore changes to the prior are extremely unlikely.

I just think the wide eyes make it look like a suprised retard and that's not what I want my car to look like.

Cool. I'm in full agreement that AM > Jag. The Jag's still a decent option as the poor man's version, imo.
