'06 Jaguar XK road test

This new XK is lighter, faster and roomier than the car it replaces. And its body is so much stiffer that the new convertible is actually stiffer than the coupe version of the outgoing model.

One thing that we've got to flag up straight away is that the XK is one of those cars that looks so much better in the flesh and on the road than it does in static images

No love for the big cat?

i love the big cat.....tho i think this is too much of ford having a big aston jag sharing session.... the new XK is based on the V8 vantage isnt it? or something like that.

Aston and Jaguar have been sharing for decades.

Especially the not working bit

I can't decide if it's sad or hilarious that it took Ford to improve the quality of Jaguar and Aston Martin.

Wow, I really want to see one in person because in pictures it looks like one of the hottest cars out.

Yeah, I've never been a fan of the Jag convertibles, the last gen XK looked like crap as a convertible but the XKR coupe was freaking HOT.
