I really really like the direction that Jaguar is going. I'm living this new car.

Hi,

As always, great photos by Jan! Love seeing the reviews with Aussie plates on the car.

I love this car.

This, however, makes me a bit sad in the pants. It looks like the Subaru font...

Cheers,
Nik

I think at Aston Martin it`s cool and cars like the DBS or V12 Vantage def fit the bill,but with the XKR-S I just can`t get rid of the feeling that something is wrong about it...even though I like the new direction and the car by itself but that`s about it..

So what a "Jaguar" is?

I thought they were a racing based company with some luxury added.

I don't know but I'm loving the new cars. And that blue is a blast!

the racing heritage sure looks good on paper,

but as of today it seems to be the other way round##a kuxury based co with some racing added

and not even that worked out too well
