...apparently it's getting a V8 4.4. Sub 5 sec acceleration, 290km/h top.

Looks as well like the new small Aston Martin.

Hi, Andy. Looks more Japanese than European, IMO.

Very nice- It will be good to see desirable Jags on the road again, their recent offerings appear to be aimed at an older generation

Looks like a baby Aston ! Any ideas on the expected price bracket ?

Looks fantastic to me. Anything that resembles an Aston Martin can't be bad!

Styling aside, I wonder how many shared Ford parts are going to find their way into it to keep the cost down.
