The new XK has a stunning interior, and in person, it also looks great from the outside. I just wished they'd finally introduce a manual transmission for it.

It will also be my last one. It went in the shop after 77 miles. The console computer is a nightmare on hot days after the car has been in a parking lot all day. It literally cant take any day heat and shuts the car down. The dealership replaced the computer and the day the car came back to me, same problem when I was trying to leave work that day. This car is going to be a nightmare for many others as well. Wait until your insurance company finds out the car is aluminum and calls for special welding that is quite pricey for body work repairs. Looks here are very decieving folks. Dont buy this one. Wish I had'nt. I puchased this 2007 XK and it is my fifth jag. It will also be my last one. It went in the shop after 77 miles.

However, the sliteye headlights just don't work for me. They remind me of a shark or something and are way too angular for the flowing lines of the car. I'm looking forward to the next XJ. Jaguar got burned by making a technological leap while retaining styling so traditional that it's hard for even XJ fans to tell if it's the new series or not (at least until you see the tail). The market for upscale sedans wants modern styling as well as the latest technology - hence the new S-Class Merc evoking the CLS500. The next XJ, I predict, will be a very modern rendering of the classic XJ lines. With J. Mays moving to England to have a greater role in Ford's PAG styling, just as the new Mustang is instantly identifiable as the *new* Mustang, the XJ will be an XJ, no doubt, but be very modern.

No matter how it drives, that's enough to kill the car for me. Good call on the Taurus front end Joel. No matter how it drives, that’s enough to kill the car for me.
