Too derivative for my liking - I'd much rather have a 650i. Another negative is Jag's consistently poor resale value - it may be better on this model, but why risk it?

I drove one in a parking lot when it was called the Jaguar Advanced Lightweight Coupe... 3 months ago maybe

It's a baby Aston and is beautiful. The only Jag I would consider owning that doesn't make me looking like an old man.

There's no doubt I would take the power and handling capabilities of an M6, but not knowing what the specs are on this Jaguar, I can't comment on it. However, speaking from a purely aesthetics point of view, I would take this Jag anyday over the e63. The exterior looks exotic.

Now, the main project designer must have handed down the torch to Ford when it came to interior design. Yuck! and there's no way I'm getting anything with an automatic transmission, although I'd gladly get one with SMG/DSG-like tranny.

True, the front end may look like an Eclipse, but the e63 looks somewhat like a Pontiac GTO.
Design cues are often recycled from manufacturer to manufacturer and spit back out in a different style (e60 vs. M45 front end, if you need another example).
