I like the previous model better. I am not sure those are chrome embellishers around the fog lights. Looks more like vents to create down force on the front end over the front wheel wells or a way to cool the brakes. Whatever XK MY I could never get passsed the hatchback look on the coupes.

The blue one RS seems to be more and more similar to cars like Hyunday

It looks like each car has different seats/headrests

I prefer the new XK to the old X150.

I am very happy they have changed the front lights, not a big fan of the rear lights but I would live with them, hated the fronts!

I like the horizontal side vents a lot more than the older vertical ones.

I agree they have to get back to the wood interior panels. Every car manufacturer has really gotten the "nice plastic trim" down, its really hard to distinguish. Jaguars use of real wood really sets it apart IMO. Almost everybody who sits in my car says "Wow is that real wood!?"

Love the new looks. Unfortunately the new ones are way out of my price range but fun to dream.
