Jaguar started to lose their appeal, for me, after the Mk 2 was dropped. The E-type was was pretty cool but fetched silly prices in the secondhand market. The XJ6 was a tart's car - and it all went downhill from there.
After my 3.4 went West, I bought a well-used 1953 Bristol 403 and renovated it. It was a pleasure to drive back then.
I can't help agreeing with swiss - that new model is just ugly. I saw one a month ago and I just couldn't relate the badge to the car.
