Default Just received my Xk 2012

hi lads today I got my xk 2012, is in great condition and cane with warranty bumper to bumper for 2 remaining years. It has 55k miles on it.

I still think the x100 has a way better design. Actually my wife told me she love the new one, but the 2006 is way more Beautiful. She is asking me not to sell it...

The 2012 drives better and is a really nice car, but don’t believe it will become a classic, the x100 born a classic.

More pictures tomorrow!

Congrats John! That's a beautiful pair of cats.

Eventually I would like to do the same, but my SO is head over heels for the F-type so that is what I would go for when the time comes. Of course I want to keep the XKR as well.

Nicely done! The post-facelift X150 is my favorite of that body style, but as with most people on this particular subforum I'm still heavily biased towards the X100.

A great pair of Jaguars. I seriously considered keeping the XK8 when I got my first XK but the realised it just wouldn't get used sufficiently to justify the running costs.

Since going back to 2 door Jaguars after a gap of thirty years with XJ saloons, I've had a 2001 XK8 Coupe, a 2005 XK8 Coupe, a 2007 XK Coupe and currently a 2014 XK Coupe.

All great cars. The big difference for me was not so much the handling as the technology leap between the 2005 XK8 and the 2007 XK. This was similar to the step forward the XJ40 electronics made from the XJ Series III. The older cars are still great fun to own and drive but no longer my first choice for daily driver.
