I'm sure Jeremy Clarkson will say it is "Brilliant" because it is British after all. ;)

I agonised over a beautiful black '06 V8 Vantage manual about 6 months ago.
Right price but I really have absolutely no use for a car with that sort of performance capability. I would have like it just to look at - which is maybe not the right reason to buy it. It was only for sale for about a month.

I tend to agree since I have that exact model in black

If it's this, doesn't look like a Jaguar at all, pretty badass machine. I would say that Jaguar in this las decade has copied Aston's design language and I have to admit, they look pretty good.

Yes, there is a resemblance if that is what you want to hear. But to say it looks like a car that in fact was the one that copied it is unfair. That's like someone showing a Rolex and then saying, nice Invicta.
There are some really nice Jags out there, but this 725hp monster is in completely another league.

Didn't they release this car a few days ago where you can actually see the finished product and not only the camo test car?

Well, you just took a fun snarky comment to a different place.

I’ll leave you to it.

To me, there is not a single line or element of the V8 Vantage styling that is out of place.
It is clean, compact, simple. All in harmony.
I find the Superleggera styling a bit garish and uncordinated with that big ugly power-mouth dominating the front, and the massive cheek air-scoops everybody seems to have these days.
