2011 Jaguar XK Coupe, an AW Drivers Log - AutoWeek

EXECUTIVE EDITOR ROGER HART: In my eye, this XK coupe is one of the more beautiful cars on the road today. It is instantly recognizable as a Jag, which is a good thing considering the terrific design heritage the company has. The XK continues with that reputation. In writing about other Jags, I've voiced my displeasure with the touch screen interface so I won't belabor the point again here. It worked as advertised, and the sound system in the XK is terrific. Jag is all about luxury, so maybe the right option would be a dual-clutch setup to engage the driver a bit more. The XK looks terrific, delivers a pleasant ride and has outstanding curb appeal. This car makes people stop and look at it. MOTORSPORTS EDITOR MAC MORRISON: The XK symbolizes Grand Touring: Attractive, classic lines, a good amount of power, great sounds and an excellent blend of sport and luxury when it comes to the... Speaking of the design, several people went out of their way to approach me to say how much they like this car's appearance. The V8, tuned to sound like the roar of a large jungle cat, gets me every time, but I'd like this Jaguar to come standard with just a little more power. Source: autoweek.com
