If you block out everything below the lines of chrome below the headlights and the grille the upper portion looks like a Viper hood and lights. And that's not a bad thing.
But a big old negatron on the vertical tail pipes. They look dumb angled on a IS-F and they look dumb here. Rotate 90-degrees and we have a deal. Do they have an Indian 12-year old who can fix that?
I like the old days when they did the automobile drawings by hand. The initial hand drawings promised the world with long hoods, swoopy curves, low roof lines, large wide tires and beautiful rims that got everyone all excited, but then the final outcome was something akin to a Chevette.
@Deartháir II: The Return: I'd like to credit the bodacious company with all of this, but I think most of it was in the pipeline before the sale. It's too bad Henry couldn't stick around to reap the benefits of their labor.
@Velocitré: Possibly. But it's getting late enough now that I think we all have to admit that there's at least a bit of Indian influence in the recipe.
I really like the rear end better than the front, but the tailpipes will take some getting used to. In my opinion, the humonstrous cat's eyes for headlights are not pleasing to my eyes.
@skaycog - Just Say Yes!: I didn't want to get in this conversation when you're getting so intimate, but IMO the headlights are featuring the GTR Concept and Benz SLS Alice Cooper inspiration. It looked good in the GTR, it looked like a copycat in the SLS, it'll look wrong in the XKE.

It'll never get made. Jaguar's been toying with bringing back the E-Type for decades and still hasn't done so.
With Jaguar still bleeding money, I don't think it'll ever happen.
Remember the F-Type?

@Pessimipposaurus: Remember 10 years before, the XJ41?

@Syrax: Then teasing us once more with the XK180.

I adore the new direction for Jaguar. Their new Indian overlords can take over any company they like, if this is the sort of thing they come up with.
