I've been working on this car for the past few months in Castle Bromwich. It is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Don't get me wrong, I know this jag is a beautiful car and would give my right arm to own one (even if it made driving it a bit difficult). However, does anyone else thing the colour of the car in the images is a bit of a boo boo? Makes it look a bit naff. Should have gone with the silver, gunmetal or black. Also the angles of a couple of the early shots make it look a bit like a Datsun crossed with a Pontiac Firebird.

I'm impressed, Jaguar seem to be making progress.

I like the front end, very aggressive, love the emphasis on the grill that jaguar make in their newer models. Back end lets it down a wee bit, can't put my finger on it, just doesn't have that WOW factor.

What have they been doing with it at CB? Prototype production runs?

 

[rob9872]

I would have thought those would be at Gaydon

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

Nah it's a production vehicle and they have to run a few prototypes down the track to make sure it's all ok before selling them. Plus Jags are developed at Whitley not Gaydon? LR are Gaydon I thought.

Wait till you see what come out today

 

[rob9872]

Cheers Rich - I didn't know that, I always thought all the stuff they kept under wraps was Gaydon.

Any hints skyblu3sk?

That car is lovely, the colour is very nice as well. Does anybody know how much it sells for??

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

the live coverage isn't very good. Not even a mention on the CT site.

£97,000 so it's nice and affordable.........For a footballer.

Theres production of the XKR-S here at CB. We had 60 odd down the track last month. We're due for a lot more next month.

Also 250 of the C-X75's are being built at some point this year. For a mere £700,000 a pop.

You could get 70,000 Tata Nanos or all of the CX-75s. I know what I would prefer!
