Jaguar C-Type

Looks like someone's computer had a systems error generating the offside rear light of the C-Type...

what!

I just hope they don't come out with this. Looks good but it does not follow the theme of the jag coupe design. it needs a opal grill that's how previous coupe's have been designed. Each model should be different. Don't for god's sake make the same stupid mistakes that BMW, Audi and Merc are doing - making all their cars look the same but just a bit bigger! pull out the paper and pencil and do a proper design.

I have had XJ's and an XJR, and I love the cars. The reason i won't buy the XKR, or the newest model Jag, is that while they're exceptional driving cars, last forever, and smooth and elegant to ride in, they just don't 'GO'. Look, let's take the HP, and add a turbo. Or at least get us into a decent tiptronic curve so that when we drive it manually all that HP is available, in raw form.

In other words. I would love Jaguar to put out something that would feel something like my Boxster S, or Ferrari, so that all that elegant luxury would be combined with adrenaline.

No C Type

Not a bad looking car but no C Type and a disapointing Name to give to a cruiser in terms of ability as I expect it will be more similar to a Mercedes SL and with auto and paddles -its not going to be hardcore enough for such a name,style wise the grill doesn,t do it for me. Jaguar company history should mean something to Jaguar whoever they are now? it will sell especially in US I expect....in europe most buyers might like a change from mercs?

what a great looking car weve had lots of jags and love them

This will definately be replacing my wifes very dull A4 cab 3.0tdi quattro instead of an equally dull A5 we have been in the same turmoil for years forced to own BMW AUDI or MERC CABS as second car Range Rover TDV8 Vogue SE car NO1 and my toy Lotus exige cup, no one else makes a decent 2X2 cab with big diesel lump well done TATA at last it seems somebody knows how to build what people really want not what just a few purists tell them to build.

2 seater or 4 seater

This article says the imagine of 2 seater & likely to finish with 4 seater. I'm Confused. Does any you guys have likely option. I would like 4 seater. Early Jag Model sports had 2 seaters & the E-type was one of them.

Damn you Callum!!! Get the 'leaper' OFF the boot!! NO Jag ever had such a stand-out historical design cue relegated to the boot, AND leaping sideways into the undergrowth. It IS dumb, and LOOKS dumb. Then there seems confusion about how many seats need to be jammed into a TWO seater sports car. Granted, the original E-Type was a 2 seater and got steroided up to 4 seats, but the C-Type NEVER had 4 seats.
Nuff said........

We don't need another awkward looking 4 seat GT. The grill of this car is way too large and needs to have a downward slope with an elegant snout and grill opening. The rear is too much like a Mazda MX-5, which isn't necessarily bad, but this car isn't a Mazda. Why emulate the cheap stuff? Target the Porsche Boxter S and Cayman S, respectively. Give the car some spirt and growl. Please don't make it another, for all intents and purposes, lowrider.
