No one is putting down the XK8 IMHO.  I only hope that Jag people are
reading this newsgroup and taking some notes. 
I am one of the people, like most of us, who can't afford a new Jag, now or
before XK8.  I can tell you that in 10 years time I will probably be driving
a restored XJS, yes a V12.

Reverse snobbery, shaddy personal value systems, august gathering, covetous
nonsense... I think that most of us are here only because we like Jags, in
my case classic Jags.
