XK apparently to cease production - summer 2014

[Jaguar_Enthusiast]

Sad news- I guessed this would be coming, but not perhaps so soon.

By modern standards 2006 - 2014 is a good run for a model that has only seen light facelifts since its introduction - but it will become a modern classic as so many still appreciate it...

A totally brilliant car but it was doomed as soon as the F-type appeared. Rumour has it that a future replacement will be more along the lines of the Bentley Continental i.e. a big car but with more rear seat room which, if we are totally honest, was pretty awful in the XK8!

Sir William lyons had the right idea and he called it an XJ coupe... Mike.

I think a replacement with a bit more rear room would not be a bad thing. The back seats in my XJ-S were useable - a little cramped for long distances, but OK. The XK8 was tighter - 3 people was OK, but to take a fourth, I had to put the driver's seat too far forward to be comfortable for any distance. Now, with the XKR, the rear seats are almost unusable.

looks good, not sure about rear 3/4 view but not as good as current XK/XKR
