Need to see final pics to properly judge this thing. I LOVE the concept but spypics give me a feeling its gonna be watered down a bit. These chops look good though. Nice side profile. Also, I'm more interested in seeing the coupe version.

It's going to look nothing like the concept except for the rear.
Look at the side skirts, they are extremely soft and watered down. The front doesn't have those curved verticle vents like the concept. Instead there is a fant outline of an horizontal/slightly slanted oval where a foglight would typically be. As of now I'm unimpressed unless there is going to be a more aggressive model. I'm thinking the cayman, based on what I see so far of the boxster is going to be amazing. |

Jaguar, yawn. Unless that c16 makes it to the US- I'm uninterested.

I was never really a fan of the concept, and this doesn't do much to persuade me. I just don't like long rear decklids; this thing has a freakin' coffee table out back. Also didn't like the obnoxious front end on the concept, and Jaguar still has this issue with the way they taper their light housings at awkward angles towards the edges.

Looking for the lateral, for me it looks kinda like the old 370Z Nissan in the front and a BMW Z8 from the front fender to rear including the textile cover.
It's ok but not I am not nuts about it. I still like the old X-Type and the new XF which I think is gorgeous but too bloody expensive (plus they offer only 5.0l engines in here). |

The Jaguar will be built out of aluminium, it's going to be light, possibly lighter than a Cayman. Jaguars quality is pretty high these days, they often top the JD Power surveys.
