I love the rear and the profile. The front is a tad too busy and needs to be cleaned up. Then it will have a timeless Aston/Jag appearance.

The pricing baffles me. It will be priced starting from 60k, and up to 80k Pounds. That's today XK's pricing. That means the next and bigger XK would probably start at 80k Pounds !

Why don't I truly like this car?

With its price, why do I love it even more than the Aston Vantage ? It's 70% the price with 90% the looks !

 

[aleks_16]

I hardly can find words to describe my feelings for this car..........only I can say IT IS A BEAST !!!

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Why don't I truly like this car?

Because it looks like an Aston rip off.

Because it looks like an Aston rip off.

That's not fair. Ian Callum designed both the DB9 and V8 Vantage (details finished by Henrik Fisker, but Callum did most of the overall shape).

Aston Martin is living off Ian Callum's silhouettes which are so successful they dare not make any radical changes.

Saying this Ian Callum's design is an Aston rip-off is like saying Picasso ripping off his previous works when he painted his new ones, don't you think ? Credit due to Callum.

I cannot say that I am not attracted to the car. I love it and think it is a great direction for Jag. The only issue is that it has is that it has too many Aston Martin elements. Aston Martin is one of my favorite cars out there, which is probably why I like this jag, but I don't feel like this really identifies with Jag's identity.

WHAT I AM MOST INTERESTED IN is how much this car will change by the time it gets to production.

Beautiful car! Great job! I hope the production version won't look too bland

 

[Merc1]

Looks better in L.A. and in White.

Put a proper engine in that, and this will be a BADASS car.
