Inspiration behind the new Jaguar XK...
Winslet has revealed that she was in the mind of Ian Callum, a Scottish engineer, when he was designing the latest Jaguar XK. She told the American chat show host Jay Leno that Callum had “decided that I, for whatever reason, was his ideal woman. So I guess he was inspired by the shape of my body, which is kind of flattering”. Read Article

The interior in the Jaguar XK pwn3d the Lexus SC430 interior.

And I like the Jag badge better.

The SC430 is the most useless car, the v8's not that fast, it looks like a little droid and it should be only driven by girls. Jag's are for G's Lexus's are for people who can't eat solid food anymore.

I am a big Lexus fan but honestly in my opinion Jaguar XK > Lexus SC430 . Looks better, faster, handling only not as reliable i am sure.

I am disappointed in both. I expected the jag to be a true competitor to the SL like it was back in the early 90's, you know when it had a V12. It is curvaceous, but lacks th power to go with the curves. And someone accused Lexus of being conservative, look at Jaguar. The old cat needs Viagra, and quick.

In a road test,Car and Driver Magazine had the 2007 Jaguar XK ahead of the BMW 650i and the Cadillac XLR. The editors also said that the XK has amazing handling. The Lexus SC430 was not one of the vehicles in the comparison test.

Why no SL550? And was it the XKR and which had the more HP? I stopped really paying attention to C&D and Automobile mag, when the G35 sedan was ahead of the BMW 330 (back in 2003-04), they said the BMW won because, "that feeling"

According to Car and Driver Magazine comparison test, The Mercedes SL came in first place, Porsche 911 =second placed, the Jaguar XK= third place, the BMW 650i =fourth place, and the Cadillic XLR =fifth place. Jaguar hit a 'homerun' with the XK.

I have not seen any road test comparisons for the XKR.

Why put the 911 in the mix. It is a sports car, thru and thru, not a luxury 2 door GT. The SL, Jag, XLR, and BMW all share a great amount of "heft" or weight. The 911 is a featherweight. The only thing the 911 has in common, is that it has 2 doors and its price, nothing else.

The XK is made of aluminum, which help to contribute to its great handling capabilities. The XK is a Grand touring + sports car.
