New 911 challenger?
 

The 2007 XK looks like it's a 997 challenger...

Linky no worky for me

Me fixy.

Very Aston Martin like

Don't they share a platform under the new Ford ownership?

Not 100% sure.

I can already see the upgrades for the Jag though.......

As far as the DB9 (regarded as a 911 GT3 competitor) is concerned:

"DB9 gives Aston Martin cutting-edge product

Ford Motor Co. has given Aston Martin enough investment capital to build a gleaming factory and develop a <b>high-tech platform that only Aston Martin will use.</b>

The first vehicle off the new platform and emerging from the new Gaydon, England, plant is the DB9. Deliveries in the United States started in December.

The basics: The aluminum and composite body panels are joined to an aluminum body frame....

Notable features: <b>For all the talk about Ford Motor synergies, one must try hard to find anything borrowed from another brand.</b> The DB9 is all about Aston Martin, with some safety-engineering assistance from Volvo.

Im a big fan of the DB9. But somehow the XK i changed just enough to be the ugliest thing i have seen in thr past week. And as far as borrowing from another brand goes, the XK shamelessly steals the grill from the might ford taurus

I like the rear end design, but the front of it looks too much like a Buick.

The Buick-like front:

Yoy cannot put a big heavy lump of V-8 in the front of a car and compete with a 911.

I watched a GTO and a BMW spank a bunch of 911s last weekend on Speed TV.
