Came across this today, coming to a video game store near you. New XK replacement?
All-Electric Jaguar Vision GT Coupe Revealed

 

That was developed specifically for that video game alone. While it'd be cool to get ANY replacement for the XK (other than a stretched F-type), I really don't think this'll go anywhere.

 

XK will never be again,
Look at the Ftype and every Jaguar since,
None of them have anything quintessentially Jaguar, in fact, they could pass for any other brand.

The problem is hip man-bun toting millennials have no association to that sort of character.
So why would you make a refined larger version of the Ftype when what the consumer wants is more visceral.

The concept of a grand-tourer itself is all but dead, these guys take uber everywhere.

 

What I observe is that most of those wanting Jaguar to make a new XK would never buy a new XK.
In fact, I'm not sure most wanting a new XK have ever even bought a new Jaguar.

The F-type is what made me consider Jaguar, but I found the X150 to better suit me.
However, a base brand new F-type was something I could afford without a loan, and the price of a new XK was not.

The XK's replacement is the Lexus LC500, the MSRP is similar. It even has a 5.0L V8.

 

I'd rather have an Aston.

 

........ but not a Vantage. They gross.

 

Agree, just saw my first one in person last week......it looks better in pictures!

 

Agreed, with the new design. What do you think about this, especially the interior?

THAT ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ will probably be my next car, I've been desiring for a few years now. Vanquish S Volante. Only in blue or that Obsidian Black color they have.

 

It looked nothing extraordinary, just like the Ftype that was next to it.

They were both in no-man's land in their proportions. Neither large enough to make a statement, nor small enough.

 

Was at the Malibu Autobahn meetup this morning at Zuma Beach with my Pantera, and I was parked next to a white Vantage and a whole Aston contingency was parked nearby. I always thought that they previous genration Vantage was amongst the most perfectly designed automobiles ever, great proportions, lovely details, just about perfect. This new Vantage is just ugly! Horrible, butt ugly wide mouth bass lower front grill, stupid looking and poor fitting side stamping where a grill/vent used to be. Nothing about the new Vantage appeals to me. The Vanquish Volante still has what made Aston famous, STYLE, ELEGANCE, everything the Vantage has lost.

 

New jags are just plain ugly . The brand should be thinking of style instead of churning out terrible cars

 

This is hot and I certainly hope they put it into production. I will have to counter-signal the guy who said that the GT is dead. Maserati, Aston Martin, and Ferrari still make them.

 

I like the new Vantage and it's a hell of a performer.

The Vanquish pointed out earlier the thread is quite the car, but one accident and that's all she wrote. The large carbon fiber pieces used on the Vanquish are going to be very difficult to replace.

Jaguar has lost its elegance and no longer caters to the buyers created the image and association it had. Not saying whether that is good or bad for the marque, but the way it is.

 

The world has lost its elegance. Jaguar could not give it away in this climate.
They were like Cohiba at a vaping convention.

 

Their pitches to millennial's is sad. Who cares about a digital watch that can open the car? Lincoln has more that elegance in their products, but how many aspire to own a Lincoln?

With all the fanfare of Downton Abbey, The Kingsmen, and Royals; selling a car that has the most bright work and wood should be their direction.

 

Bentley and Rolls still have that going for them at the moment.

 

Anglophilia might be booming but memory of elegance is all but lost.
How many even bother dressing up halfway to board a plane.
This generation does not know what it is like to be on a train, plane, or in public where people carry themselves and are presentable.

Also they have no concept of quality or longevity, we chose brightwork because it was the toughest longest lasting finish. They choose vinyl wrap cause it imitates something.
And they double-down on overstated- the vantage we saw was screaming loud neon green, as if to one-up the poor rice-burners for whom neon vinyl makes sense.
The Ferrari on exhibit was a dull maroon with a satin finish, the Ftype was dull maroon with satin finish. Point being Ferrari abandoned its heritage red for a trade show.

 

The taillights are hideous on the new Jags the F-type has the same tail lights as the SUVs that's pretty pathetic and they're very ugly

 

BUT..... is this 2021 Mid-Engine F-type still a GO?


A bit gross in the face, but other angles don't look bad.
