New Jag XK

Ford has released photos of the hotly anticipated redesign of the Jaguar XK, which will be a 2007 model. The design has remain essentially unchanged since 1997.

The task of redesigning the 1997 to 2006 XK would not be an easy assignment for anyone. It would be a lot like asking an artist to give the Mona Lisa a new look.

The irony here is that I am only posting the car's best views. It is too painful for me to look at the front intake, which is sadly reminiscent of a Ford Taurus. Just as well, since I will not be able to afford a 2007 model until about 2015! Oops, strike that. My daughter will be going to college about then . . . Until then, my 1997 Mona Lisa purrs in the garage, graying gracefully.
