FRANKFURT MOTOR SHOW: 001 Nabs The Latest Leaping Cat - Is It PERFECT or LACKING?

One of the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show's outstanding concepts came from Jaguar. As we've seen the classic, British marque go through a renaissance into a new design direction, it seems that Jaguar may have lost that special quality that made a Jaguar "A Jag."

Maybe it's just me because the all-new XJ has been selling better than ever -- something that can't exactly be said of the older XJ,

Long story short though, although the C-X16 really is a stunning-looking vehicle, it doesn't seem to be breaking new ground. From its side profile it really just looks like a rehashed Aston Martin and those rear lights appear to be a modern interpretation of the DB7. Is that such a bad thing though? Maybe every concept doesn't have to blow people away.

Maybe if Jaguar decides to build the C-X16 though it will stay true to the concept's form and once again Jaguar can sell products based on its classic good looks.
