I see that the new British Villains campaign has airbrushed the XKR out of the lineup. You have to scroll to the bottom of the page then right before you find it.

They seem to not want the XKR competing with the F-Type. Seems obvious, as unsold F-Types are filling dealer lots across the country!

Then again, my local dealer has just as many unsold new XKs. But when your brand new flagship sports car is selling for just over invoice price, that's not a good sign...

The fewer, the better. I'm selfish, I admit, and clearly hooked on driving something rare.

Their ad makes sense, but a glimpse of the SUV would've been smart.

Yes, particularly since the quote is, "we all drive Jaguars"...

Looking forward to more commercials from this campaign!

I must be the only one who thought that was a lame commercial. Actually, almost all of the Superbowl commercials this year were pretty bad.

I loved the commercials! Anything to make the Jaguar brand badass is good to me. No longer your grandpas Jag.

The commercial had no creativity. I found it to be very mundane with no excitement.

They should have used the Jaguar swallowing Benz's chicken commercial, that would been a statement.

What is badass about some cheesy "bad guys" sitting around explaining why they drive Jaguars??

I don't know all the R models and RS models are listed under R Performance list.

Clearly some different focus groups even here among current owners!

I'm waiting for JF to move our section from the "current" group to the "modern" group. That will hurt a little bit.

The commercial was ok, I thought. Some good exhaust sounds, at least. A little trite on the English angle, but at least they picked decent actors.

And my wife picked out her license plate for the XKR from it: GD2BBAD
