i've always expected to keep the T350 (and still do so) but in the past have thought i'd save for a Vantage to sit next to it in garage.

That's all changed with the arrival of the Jag C-X16 - what a machine! http://www.autoblog.com/photos/frankfurt-2011-jagu...

Kind of shaped a little like the T350 from the side, in a coupe kind of way...

Certainly looks the part, but bet it's auto only. That's why I've never bought a Jag.

no, it's gonna be a 3.0 V6 Supercharged and then another model being the same but with a hybrid 95Hp electric 'boost' motor for overtaking... taking it up to 455bhp or something!

8 speed manual/paddle i believe.

  • Cough* Yes, I would.
Need a new car anyway, so one of those Jags or the other 2010/11 models we saw at the production factory last month would look very nice in my drive biglaugh

Looks stunning but damn it needs a V8! XFR engine would do nicely...

No.

2 completely different cars for doing the same job.

Having run and XKR along side the Griff it doesn't make sense.

What it does is highlight faults and removes some of the excitement.
