Had a go in the 75 and my God, what a car.

This, to me, is one step too far in the styling department having had time to properly look at it.

I only drove the XKR (at an indicated 170mph at Gaydon) and have wanted an XK since, this one is top of the list though, I think the addenda look great.

Each to their own, Fiesta 30th Anniversary is way more exclusive than this will be too.

But then we could get the XK75 which is far more exclusive than your fiesta.

At last an XKR with blistering performance and proper seats. What a pity they have given it a nose which is a cross between a Mexican moustache and a nissan GTR. That puts me right off. I'd rather have an XKR75.

The bodykit is just OTT and the steering wheel remains ordinary when it should be tactile. I'll give you a clue boys. Just copy the one on the new McLaren.

Performance v Price-wise, Aston should hang their head in shame...

Not really - that was never the premise
Technically the Jag (and Gallardo & 997) eat the Astons but the experience is far better than the statisitcs

Having had an all day test drive with a "standard" XKR today, I am ready to ditch my DBS for one of these.

If it turns out to be anything like as good as the standard car, plus more of everything good, then I am having one.

Stunning car, Jaguar has got it spot on with the styling, maybe even better looking than the Aston Martin V8.

Not a huge fan of the chav make over. I'd opt for a basic spec 997 TT over this without a moments thought. Mind you, the Porsche wheels are hardly a lesson in class. They need replacing.
