Jaguar XKR: Doesn't Matte Gray Make Everything Look Better?
The Jaguar XKR still looks pretty good, but holy crap does it look even better in matte gray paint with black wheels. This one was parked outside last night's Jay-Z/XJR event, outclassing the boxy Jag sedan inside. More » -

2010 Jaguar XKR Convertible
When we reviewed the 2008 XKR we took issue with its handling, interior and gearbox. The 2010 Jaguar XKR Convertible adds little more than a new, 510 HP engine, but that's our kind of a band-aid. More » -

2009 Jaguar XK Spotted, Looks Surprised
We've sort of been torn with regards to the look of the latest generation Jaguar XK. On the one hand, those big eyes make it look like a surprised child ("We got bought by Tata, WHAT?). On the other hand, there are some fine lines that pop better in person (for more on that check out our review of the 2009 Jaguar XKR). Though not a massive change, this mid-cycle refresh caught by the KGP crew shows some obvious changes including a new front bumper with air-inlets just below the headlights and revised taillights. Other than the rumored XK diesel, there shouldn't be any major powertrain changes. With the company now under Indian ownership we'll be interested to see what they do with the company's performance flagship. Spy report below the jump. More » -
