Your favorite modern Jaguar Coupé?
Well, if we exclude the Legendary E Type, and the current F Type ( which is my absolute favorite modern Jaguar Coupé ), we had:
If I had to choose, it would be a tie between the XK 2d generation and the XJ. I don't like the XK first generation that much, because of the rear and front lights and the body, which is too " chamallow " for me.
The XJ:
Then, from 1996 to 2006, the XK first generation:
Replaced by the XK second generation, in 2006:

They knew they were hiring the best when they brought Ian Callum for the second generation XK

Well, don't forget, Nico, that the Aston Martins of the period were built on Jaguar floor pans.
Buying a Jag is always about being flamboyant
so allow me to cheat a little and propose the Lynx Eventer xjs shooting brake
I was fortunate to get a ride in the Xjrs version as a child : it left a Big impression. there must be a handful of such examples in the world
one guy regularly uses his in Brussels
he carries his... painting pots in the trunk and the burgundy car is quite shabby
A flamboyant painter! I think this is the one I knew as a kid

A great question!
I came close to buying every single version of them but it never happened. As a kid I loved the lines of the 1st gen xjs v12. When the 2nd gen came out I contacted the dealer in my area and half the car fell off during the test drive, ranging from bits of trim, even the driver side door handle. Needless to say that was not very confidence inspiring. I still believe the 2nd gen have the best looking interior and retain some of that British charm missing from the 3rd gen, wood work in particular is still amazing. I then came close to buying a db7 convertible a rare v12 with a manual gearbox based on the chassis on the 1st gen but it diidnt happen either. The 3rd gen especially in xkr configuration remains quite a popular model, more so than the F type. I like the muscular lines of the 3rd gen quite a bit but if forced to choose one I would probably cast my vote for the 2nd gen in convertible form!
Agree. With a personal preference toward XJ
Agree also on the F Type
Tried the V8. A specimen of gorgeous with growl. Considering personal and practical reason I will take F Type V8 over for E Type. Forgive Me Vlad

Aaaah, I knew someone would show this one... ;) Yes, I agree, very nice, but to me, it is more a saloon with two doors than just a coupé.
Coupé or two door saloon?
In the brochures from 1977 the Jaguar is a coupé and the Daimler a two door saloon.
