This sounds pretty good, other than the V6.

Love the design... If there is 10cm / 4inches more space for the rear seats (than on the current version) then count me in

Guys, you realize that sketch is from the early 2000s, and resulted in the 2007 XK, right???

Haha, no problem. I just didn't want people to get their hopes up, thinking that the new one was going to look exactly like the old one...

Another novelty will be the introduction of V6 engines - by 2017, efficiency will be even more of a religion than it is now. And to literally top them all, Jaguar could follow the F-Type’s folding metal roof scheme, finally dropping the “traditional” cloth roof.

Folding metal roof scheme .... they are full of ***** ...
