I must admit that until today, I was an XK8 trasher.... I thought, in the pictures, it looked like a Taurus, or a celica on steroids, but today, I got to see it for the first time. My heart is still racing. My girlfriend and I were in Greensboro, which is the closest Jaguar dealer to us, and we went by to look if they had one. My skepticism vanished as soon as I saw the car in person. It is absolutely gorgeous!!! Yes, it is definitely different but then again, so was the XK120 and the E type and the XJ-S... She, being loyal to me and my XJS thought we needed to just get a convertible version of what we had, but even she, who trashed it more than I ever did, agreed it was just beautiful. I even went to a toy store to buy a 1:18th scale model of it - it is now next to my other Jaguar models! In the end, I will still have to wait 6 years until I can get a used one! ******************************************* Robert E.
