Comments on: Detroit Motor Show - Jaguar XKR and XFR http://www.drivenmagazine.co.uk/2009/01/12/detroit-motor-show-jaguar-xkr-and-xfr/ News, reviews, and general car banter Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:48:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Ash http://www.drivenmagazine.co.uk/2009/01/12/detroit-motor-show-jaguar-xkr-and-xfr/comment-page-1/#comment-4808 Ash Thu, 30 Sep 2010 18:46:03 +0000 http://www.drivenmagazine.co.uk/?p=38#comment-4808 I want a Jag badly, but i'm only 22 and therefore 'too young' (so I got an RX-8 instead of an XK. Sad.). And therein lies Jaguar's problem: It's got a bit of a stigma of being an old man's car. Even the sporty XK models make you assume the person driving it is at least 45 years old, and most drivers of the XJ are usually retired. I love their interiors and I do think the XKR is one of the most gorgeous cars ever made (more so than the E-type, which is a car that's only pretty on the outside, unlike the XKR). But society says I could never own one until i'm older. Which is a shame. I want a Jag badly, but i’m only 22 and therefore ‘too young’ (so I got an RX-8 instead of an XK. Sad.).

Not sure I like the looks of it, too chunky (which is basically what I don't like about the Bugatti Veyron). :P It really does look like the offspring of an Aston Martin+Jaguar parent combo.
