Has anyone seen the new Jaguars? :O

Their new lineup is beautiful. I saw this first on on the road today and thought it was a Bentley at until I got up close.

They have had good write ups too - pity about the state of the world economy :(

Sorry, but that looks like every other car that has the teardrop shape, large-diameter rims and low-profile tires. I wonder how they keep "the smooth Jaguar ride" with those suckers?

However, I do like the slanted grille in front. Nice touch.

Designed by a Scotsman who used to work for Aston Martin and designed the DB7 and Vanquish.

Some say he designed his first jags via the gift of tracing paper.

I had a '67 Plus 4.
With the sidecurtains off you can lay your hand flat on the ground...that's how low you sit in one of those.
True story.

Have you driven a 7.

They are fucking low as fuck.

They also understeer into a corner and oversteer on the way out. At least the one I drove did. Automotive genious/madness.

I've driven a 205, that's like 198 better than a 7 or something.

If you get the chance you should take it.

Given the chance, I'll drive almost anything.
The Caterham is definitely high on the list of hoonworthy cars and I certainly would love to try it.
