Slightly revised lower front fascia...where's the foggies? Interior has the JaguarDrive similar to the CXF.

It looks like the '09 XKR will still have the J Shifter instead of the JaguarDrive...at least this website still shows the J Shifter: http://www.leftlanenews.com/jaguar-xkr-portfolio.html

Just curious for the price of the XK/XKR why no LED tailights...at least LED brake lights.

Probably the contract with Phillips?

The best part of the 2009 is it will have the 500+hp 5.0v8

Grrr....bought it 1 year too early...lol. There will always be changes every year so I can't complain. Looks like it's going to be a 5.0 V8 SC. I guess I'll need a SC Pulley, Exhaust and ECU Chip just to keep close....LOL. Is the 500+HP confirmed for '09? I know it'll be shared with the RR. In the article it's still showing 420HP for '09. They do need to bump the HP to compete with BMW, MB, Audi and AM.

Supposedly, the 2009 XKR will have the 5.0 V8 along with the XFR when it comes.
Things are always subject to change though...lol

Thanks for the info. The new engine will also show up as a detuned version in the RR (Range Rover). There goes my resale value once the new engine arrives...LOL. O'Well no biggie.
