It sounds awesome, like a cross between a Nissan GT-R and clasic jag.
I REALLY hope they keep the design as close to the C-x16 as possible, because its amazing and I'd buy one tomorrow.
I've read that they are going for the drop top first for various engineering and launch-timing issues, and the coupe will follow. Given its suppose to be a drivers car, would have thought they should do it the other way around.
The Jag teaser video is pretty nice too, turn your speakers up.

It had better be available with a manual box!
If all they offer is a torque-converter slush box then Porsche won't need to worry about losing any Boxster/Cayman/911 sales (and Aston, Audi, BMW etc will sleep easy as well).
It would just take a few sales from middle aged female Merc SLK buyers ...
Automatics are becoming more popular than manuals these days, even in sports cars.If all they offer is a torque-converter slush box then Porsche won't need to worry about losing any Boxster/Cayman/911 sales (and Aston, Audi, BMW etc will sleep easy as well).

I think it will take a lot of sales from Porsche, Audi, BMW and Mercedes. I certainly hope so.
Jaguar's auto 'box is good, but IMO for this car to credibly hold its own against the top-end BMW Z4s, it needs a proper DSG, specifically one that shifts down the instant you want it to rather than being overridden by a nanny-knows-best computer.
