  • Preview: 2007 Jaguar XK

    Side note: I love the commercial for this car. From a marketing standpoint, I don't think there could be a better one for the target market as well as the target enthusiast. Anyway, here's the story...



    Full text here.

    Jaguar tries to recapture the sports car market with its new XK coupe and convertible.

    The slightly heavier XK convertible reaches 0 to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds—one tenth slower than the coupe. It offers a six-speed ZF automatic with a new shift mechanism, an L-shaped gate on the center console, and a pair of steering wheel paddles. The new XK looks every inch a Jaguar. The sharp creases makes the car look lighter, leaner, and more buffed.

    Despite having less trunk space than the outgoing XK8, Jaguar maintains the crucial two-golf-bags criteria is still met.

    Ever since the demise of the fabled E-Type, Jaguar has struggled to produce a worthy sports car successor.
    Both the company and its customers have been seduced by the siren calls of luxury and comfort; cars like the XJ Series and XK8 were good enough performers and handlers, but lacked the sporting edge of the E-Type, or its predecessors, the XK120, XK140 and XK150.

    Can the new 2007 XK coupe and convertible recapture the glory?
