I saw a new Jag XK and I thought it was an Aston Martin at first. It caught me off guard when it passed me because I thought Aston had a re-design. It's an amazing looking car but they have so many mechanical issues.

It's funny I heard someone compare the new XK's front end to that of the current Ford Taurus, not very flattering for Jaguar I presume.  Nonetheless I'm not impressed whatsoever by the look of this car, it is such a forgettable design.  If it was in the twenties price range and under a marque with less prestige than Jaguar, I don't believe it would turn any heads at all.  As it is, however, the XK is a bit rare to find on the road so I think it will garner some attention.  However, this auto starts at $75,000!  Surely there are other expensive vehicles that at least look better, the CLK line perhaps or what about a stroll in the 650i convertible?  I dare venture to say that even the attainable Saturn SKY looks better than the XK.

75,000?? Why on earth would you spend 75k on an unreliable Aston Martin look alike??? Awful choice if you were to buy this jag.
