Thanks for posting...I posted earlier on another thread that I had test driven the new XK several weeks ago. This review confirms my observations with the standard XK coupe...a very nice ride and excellent performance. Their navi and COMAND equivalent is based on Macromedia (now Adobe) Flash and was quite effective and easy to operate. I would agree on the "grand touring" role completely...a very nice ride indeed. If the future status of Jaguar was a little more stable I would be very interested in a future serious look.
