Is this a Jag?
 

New F-Type revealed at the Paris Motor Show. Bloody good, but its the least Jag-looking Jag I've ever seen:

Rear end is very e-type, front is XK. I'd have one, in fact....

Re: Is this a Jag?
 

I would love one.

ancient design - I had one in the late 90s... my first ever car :)

Not very impressed with this one, give me an XJ220 anyday!

Re: Is this a Jag?
 

'Not Jag' looking is what I thought of too.

Looks like Jag took design cues from Maserati , for the front , but Jaguar's execution is no where near as attractive as the Maser.

But it's a hell of a lot cheaper.

What sounds better, I drive a jaguar, or I drive a Maserati?

No contest really.

And it's penned by Ian McCallum (may not have spelled that correctly) who did the original DB7.

Re: Is this a Jag?
 

My thoughts exactly! Someone obviously liked the Maserati 4200GT front end.
Anyway, the wheelbase is too short. Compare it with an E Type, XJS or even XJ-C. Too short and stumpy, Like a Maserati Biturbo Spyder, in fact...
And you think it's going to be cheap? Long time since that was the Jaguar USP.

Re: Is this a Jag?
 

Prices are around the £50k mark apparently, now when a Maser comes in at double that, that's cheap.

Re: Is this a Jag?
 

oh for heaven's sake - it looks like any other italian car. I was posting a picture of a cheap as chips Fiat (Barchetta). Lovely little car, could max 220kph on the German autobahns as although it only had a 1.8 engine, it weighed less than a tonne.

I always liked the "Little Boat".

Used to have a bright yellow 20v Turbo Coupe, that was fun!
