One was parked when i was out in town and tbh i didnt think it was as good looking as the XKR....
It had a very Aston esque side profile but it lacked the charachter of the XK series which seemed to get better and better with age.
Still its definitly a pretty car.

I was considering a Merc SL but this from the pics looks like another contender. Frankly the 6 series is just plain ugly in comparison - to my eyes the 6 doesnt look good from any angle

I like the look of the 5 Series - thats why I bought one
. The rest of the BMW range looks frankly crap to me (apart from the current X5 and the Z4). I would buy the Jag over the 6 anyday of the week. Don't get me wrong, I like BMW's, I have owned several and they were all great. However you have to be a pretty die hard BMW fan to like all of the current range in terms of looks.

Yeah...like me.
I like the 3 series look wich started more controverts than expected. I seriously like it...it's grown alot on me lately. I would choose a 6 over that jag any time although i know the jag would give u more exclusivity, more of a presence as it is a new model and few or none are out there on the streets. But i tend to judge a car from all points of view not only looks. Also i expect a better song from the engine/exhaust from that jag...but that's about all. It would keep the british heaviness style...i think. Look at new aston v8. Nice sound, heavy car and very british.
Wondering what 6 series model you could buy with the money from that jag? 650i? or maybe even an m6?

I liked it when I saw the pictures, but then saw it at the auto show and did not like it. It looks too small in the front of something. Looking at is straight ahead the front just didn't look good to me. I also think it is a 0-60 in 6.0 from a V8. Count me unimpressed. The 650 in a heartbeat over this.
