Yeah, the rear looks like there is a Japanese tendency...would have to see it in the flesh. If the price is similar to a 650i, I would go for the 650i.

Did Ford, ahem, Jaguar just rip off the AM Vantage design?

No!
The DB7, DB9 and this new Jaguar were all designed by the same person - Ian Callum.

Guys, the car posted isn't the new jag - the official pics of the new XK (which the concept previewed) were just released, and it's an absolute beauty. Looks a little more like an Aston this time. Beautiful car....

Looks as well like the new small Aston Martin.

As it was designed with the same pencil then it's not surprising...
