Tough call, but Jaguar.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Well then I think the designers at Jaguar should be given a standing ovation for making the jewel XKE from design cues of this misshapen, out of proportion glob. To my eye it is almost cartoon-like in appearance.

So not really a road going car for those who could afford it then.

After some quick research I find the Spider version much more appealing. It's gorgeous.

Love the 120 but it's the Disco for me.
