I think the grille on this XK should be the signature look for Jaguar, not the one on the XF or the new XJ. This one just loos better and is a tribute to the past Jags such as the E-Type or the D-Type.
@t6658 The XK is a fantastic alternative to the 6 Series, S5, & in the XK-R form the car is a worthy rival to the Maser GC, AMV8, etc, & now with new awesome engine line-ups, & the rising gear shifter, it just gets better. The S-Type's replacement was modernised, appealed to new buyers, included better diesel & petrol engines, & it made it an instant hit. The same was done for the XK & the XJ. Im positive the X Type replacement will be a crowd pleaser too...
DB9 and XK are two different cars designed by different engineer groups. DB9 is a welded aluminum and steel frame chassis, while XK is an aircraft type aluminum shell design. Arguably, XK design(body alone) is much more expensive to manufacture and require much higher level of technologies. But hey, DB9 is a Aston Martin. A Jag is a jag.
@osamiii324 The XF has recieved more awards the its rivals at BM, Merc, & Audi, every year since its release. BM, Merc, & Audi are established, thriving companies, whilst Jag has been switching owners & had to overcome financial problems. Previously owned by the US, the company wasn't achieving anything, now under Tata, the company is steadliy getting bigger & bigger. Already with its problems, Jag continues to be a thorn in the side of BM, Merc, & Audi...
another more interesting way to spend 90k is to change it into coins and poll them onto this car from 7th floor. PS: Porsche 911, GTR, Aston Martin, or even a Corvette.
the GTR is the most anticipated car to date, what are you talking about? people have been waiting for this car well over 10 years now ... and it's not suppose to be luxury car, it's suppose to be the best sports car money can be, and it is ... that's right, its a SPORTS CAR!!!! .. and Nissan is doing better than Jaguar last time i checked ... Jaguar was bought by TATA, one of the best car makers out of India ...
@bodizone1 Why should Jaguar Change the look of the 2010 XKR car? It is the best looking car on the market for $100,000 Or less. And as far as buying a Used 2007..Not true. XKR is 510 Horse Power in 2010 and in 2007 it was 420 Horse Power. Big difference!
@normalais lol a G37 has no soul and prestige. Can you really relate a rich racing heritage like Jaguar's with the G37? No! Besides, I went down to the 2010 LA Auto Show yesterday and was shocked at how much cheap plastics that was used on the dash of the G37. A G37 is for people who just want a luxury car they can go from A to B for 3 to 5 years. An XK, however, is for people who want to feel their passion and heart during the journey between A to B for more than 5 years.
You are the one that is pronouncing it wrong. The etymology of the word is Portuguese, from Tupi jagwa'ra. Portuguese is the native language of Brazil, where the feline is also native.
@seauryakumar Audi is not even in Jaguar League. Everyone has an Audi or a Bmw or Mercedes. Them cars are a Joke, Mass produced every day cars. JAG is with ASTON MARTIN..BENTLY...MASERATI. Class and PRESTIGE. Know your cars my friend : )
@osamiii324 A flop brand? Classic Jags have sold in the millions of dollars. Audi's interiors are good, but not great. Go sit in a Jaguar. You will see a difference.
@rurmundo i dont know why ur talking about maserati in every comment u post just tell me the truth did some maserati driver something bad to u when u were young ?? u cant hate a car if his driver is a pedophil
Anyone wanting to take a corvette over a Jaguar is a fruit loop. Corvettes are driven by men with high pitched voices, spend a lot of time in the gym and walk around in tank tops, with their nipples showing and silly baseball caps turned backwards..... Kinda like the kind that live in trailer parks.
hmm, ill take a GT-R or Corvette instead ... this thing doesn't look like 90 K, i guess its for rich people, cuz only an idiot would take this car over others for the same or cheaper price ..
@PuppetKing Prestige? That's like saying Cadillac is comparable to Mercedes because 50 years ago Cadillac made great cars. Jaguar has sucked now for a looong time. XK looks good but beyond looks it is a crappy car for the money. G37 beats it at everything except prestige, and prestige is only for a bunch of stuck up tea sipping nannies.
look, im sick and tired of being being all like: OH, in NORWAY, we have to pay this or in SINGAPORE we have to pay that so its like 100 x more. Firstly, no one gives a fuck!! Secondly, if you really care that much then move to a proper country that doesnt have ridiculous taxes that make me wanna spew
It's just a beautiful car. I like the 2012 to 2015 models wit the sleeker headlights. I would love to have one

Got to drive one tonight smooth I must say.
@bobbytnyc592
Yeah, plus the old XKs used normal gearsticks, new ones come with the new rising Jag shifter

Jags finally look good!
Well Mike, let us hear that beautiful exhaust sound you're talking about in this video! Oh man..!
Very nice fuel efficiency
the 2006-present Jaguar XK is assembled in
Birmingham, England
Yes it's 90000 bucks, how often do you need to mention it? Also let me know what the exhaust sounds like.
The XK is a grand tourer before it's a sports car, but from what I've read the refreshed XK is harder, and more 911 alike than the 2007-2009.
Does it have IPod or USB?
is that kelsey mays at the end?
I wonder why? the cars share the same platform and are based out of the United Kingdom but are owned by separate groups
If you want the XK to be practical, ditch the cabrio get the coupe. It's what we did
@Oceandeep8 oh i got it... i was just pointing out the fact that they had cars named cougars already.
I want one
Looks a bit like an eclipse with the headlights, db9 with the grille,
This car is not for performance it's just for rich people who want a nice expensive convertible
DB9 and XK are two different cars designed by different engineer groups. DB9 is a welded aluminum and steel frame chassis, while XK is an aircraft type aluminum shell design. Arguably, XK design(body alone) is much more expensive to manufacture and require much higher level of technologies.
But hey, DB9 is a Aston Martin. A Jag is a jag.
@Dada13409 In Norway the XKR price will be about 225000 euro.
That´s unfair.
it's a jagggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
this car is made about a mile from my house in birmingham uk.
It's not the 1960's. Jaguar has come quite a long way while they were owned by Ford, and I'm sure that will continue with Tata.

WTF
The DB9 is twice as expensive as the XK. Somehow in Canada, every Aston Martin dealer happens to sell Jaguar too.
@davidthejew1 Yeah, I am aware of that. But they can't just throw away it's glorious history, and this just looks better personally.
Bellissima la Jaguar xk cabriolet
i love jaguar too, but not this model, if i want a sporty car ill get one ... but i love the XFR and the XJ, those are fuken amazing!!!
@moderndesignworks that would be copyright infringement sir!
@alexjxcx yes it does, do you have eyes?
@t6658
Once the X Type is replaced, Jaguar will surley be a manufacturer with excellent cars throughout the range.
lol. i haven't seen a bonnet that opens like that since my grandpa's 73" car :))
but who cares... that's a wonderful car :D
another more interesting way to spend 90k is to change it into coins and poll them onto this car from 7th floor.

@bobbytnyc592 Did you even get what seau was saying? you see the 'no way'?

Looks good top down, but not top up.
Always go for the coupe.
What do you mean? XK's design is like 911's, in the regard that every new gen. is pretty much the same as an old one :)
Thanks for making me feel bad for driving a cheap car lol.
@normalais lol a G37 has no soul and prestige. Can you really relate a rich racing heritage like Jaguar's with the G37? No!

it competes with Audi S5
uhhh.... no way
all u haters can't even stand near to a Jag... funny lol.
Damn, you could buy three 370z almost with 90k....
or a Nissan GTR...
if u want buy jaguar, buy 2, 1 for driving, 1 for fixing
for that price I would go with something else even it would be older
@seauryakumar Audi is not even in Jaguar League. Everyone has an Audi or a Bmw or Mercedes. Them cars are a Joke, Mass produced every day cars. JAG is with ASTON MARTIN..BENTLY...MASERATI. Class and PRESTIGE. Know your cars my friend : )
in germany it starts @ 90.000€ not $....thats fuckin unfair..
Hey look! its Joe Buck
from 1:22... you get to witness Purely Theoretical Hair.... by the way..... Great Review!!
@osamiii324 A flop brand? Classic Jags have sold in the millions of dollars. Audi's interiors are good, but not great. Go sit in a Jaguar. You will see a difference.
@rurmundo i dont know why ur talking about maserati in every comment u post just tell me the truth did some maserati driver something bad to u when u were young ?? u cant hate a car if his driver is a pedophil
haha buh-ens. he doesnt say buttons!
16 miles a gallon? whats wack
300c srt8 will drag this..
@moderndesignworks lol
wow wtf
but i'll still pick the gtr
i rather go with 911's
911 have better resell value,and performs way better than Xk
This isn't worth it, you should just buy an Aston Martin db9
Anyone wanting to take a corvette over a Jaguar is a fruit loop. Corvettes are driven by men with high pitched voices, spend a lot of time in the gym and walk around in tank tops, with their nipples showing and silly baseball caps turned backwards.....

ha ha
hmm, ill take a GT-R or Corvette instead ... this thing doesn't look like 90 K, i guess its for rich people, cuz only an idiot would take this car over others for the same or cheaper price ..
90 grand? ok, ill buy a fully loaded 2010 Volkswagen GTI and a 2011 Ford Mustang GT for 90 grand, damn.
car cost way to much.. smh

Firstly, no one gives a fuck!!
Secondly, if you really care that much then move to a proper country that doesnt have ridiculous taxes that make me wanna spew
it is the same car as the chysler sebring you know they own jaguar so why spen 90000 on a chysler thats so dum
GTR looks WAY better than that mediocre, nearly Buick looking car.
GBP1985 smokes crack.
$90,000? Damn this car sucks. Infiniti G37 destroys it for half the price.
@nchHewabethmage The V6 G37 will smoke your V8 XK. Jaguar is garbage.
It's a nice car WITH A ROOF!! I don't like convertbles. No offense.
Overpriced
