Default Speculation : Jaguar replacing the XK with an F-Type based XJ Coupe




A rendering ofc but I like it, cept the front...

"The time draws near for Jaguar to say goodbye, the XK has come to the end of the road. Will Jaguar pull the covers off a new XJ coupe based on the amazing F-Type?Production is scheduled to end on the XK lineup with the 2015 model and loyal fans are curious if Jaguar will launch a GT (Grand Tourer) version of the XJ. As the curtains are pulled for the final time it will end an eight year run for the coupe and convertible XK.
Many are speculating that Jaguar will step up to Bentley and Aston Martin territory with the introduction of an even more luxurious 2+2 larger F-Type based car. "

That's because it looks like an F-Type with an ugly front end.

It looks exactly like one of the Mercedes coupes, and that's not very attractive. On the XK/XKR forum there is a thread about this with another XK/XKR possibility that is gorgeous. Scroll down to CeeJay's entry and check out the silver car. (I don't know how to isolate just that one post)

Aesthetically. I don't think it's even in the same league as the F-Type.

Apologies for the repost, checked here for it but didn't look in the XK forum

Well, its a GT not a sports car so meets different needs...rear seats for example...I think theres a definite gap in Jag's product line for something like this now the XK has been retired.

That concept makes no sense as 4-seater GT for Jaguar, and it doesn't appear to be. It would cannibalize F-Type sales and appears to be close to the same dimensions.

I am pretty sure that future XKs will be well over $100K as they will target upmarket GTs. The base price for the XKR-S was $134k

I like the silver concept, I doubt I will be in that league of cash, but if I was I would buy it. the red one is not great.

Which was cancelled...
