It looks good but the front end is kind of odd. At least they don't have to worry about hitting European pedestrians or the front would look like a Chevy Tahoe

 

But the Jag just looks soooooooo good.

Besides, with Chuck's Lottery Winnings he can afford a butler and valet to follow behind in a more sensible sedan with the luggage.

 

Saw one over the weekend - my 6 year old daughter thought it looked mean and fast .. I think Chevy hit a home run - the performance / $ ratio is silly can't wait to see the C7R - because real sports cars have race car counterparts!

 

I love all angles except the back--I think they'll do something with it, lots of complaints about the Alice Cooper/Camaro look of the tail lights. Otherwise, in the flesh, OMG an American car I actually lust for. It looks like a supercar, for the first time I can honestly say that about a Corvette. I totally agree with what was posted above--pictures do not do this car justice, it's looks good in pictures, but in real life, it is truly a jaw dropper.

Interior is light years better than what it was--not Porsche quality, but in the vicinity, instead of the cheap crap that was on the previous generation. And more importantly, the seats. They are fantastic.

Phenomenal performance--only potential issue is brake fade, but the stopping distances themselves are otherworldly. For the price, if I got out of my MINI, this would be the car.

Funny thing though--with PTSM, the car is so easy to drive on the track, professional drivers are actually saying after awhile it becomes ho-hum, it's just too easy to turn fast laps because the nannies will make you look good, even better than a GT-R. That would take some of the fun out of it, if you're going fast in a MINI, you at least get some of the credit.

Still, I'd love to drive one. I've sat in one, but haven't driven it or even sat in the passenger seat for a drive.

 

If you are driving the C7 it is everyone else that has to look at those tail lights. I don't mind them, but the Jag's are much nicer. Seems I'm on a Jag jag. :wink:

 

I'm a Vette vet, but I don't disagree with you. The Jag F Type R is sex on wheels - all it needs is a manual tranny.

 

In a beauty contest we both know who the winner will be. :biggrin5:

 

The Jaguar is drop dead beautiful, but it looks more like something you'd drive around town. The 'vette is not as elegant as the Jaguar, but it looks more muscular, something you'd see on the track.

 

No doubt, but whilst your profiling we'll be disappearing into the distance....

 

Not for sale, but thanks Allen. With friends like you who needs enemas. rrr:

I was pretty worried Babs would get into my secret donut money stash. :donut1: She has not had much fun for the past couple of weeks. :frown2:

Back on topic....

Man does that Jag F type look better than that C7.

 

I have yet to see one alive in real life. That is the way to tell for sure how something looks. Pictures are good only so good.

 

I like the new Corvette a lot. It is on my bucket list to own someday.

 

We saw one parked at the Ritz in Palm Beach. It had already been wrapped in flat black. Outstanding design except for the Camaro Tail Lights. Sorry Allen!

 

The Camaro has new tail lights now....

 

Folks complain about the interior if the C6, but i don't take too much exception.
We have a C6 and it is a fun car to drive. Plan on shopping for a C7 in 2015.

 

After seeing the Jag F Type coupe, my lottery winnings will go there rather than a C7. I like the C7, but love that Jag coupe.
