i own a 05 XK8 convertible, love it!! now i want the 07 XK coupe. the problem is the conflicting option list on the website vs the brochure, vs the dealer order form. we all have read that aluminum interior trim will be available rather than wood, but no one, not even the dealers seem to know if it is an option, standard, ??? i have not ordered the 07 since no one can tell me...perhaps you guys can help??

Incredible car. Everything I expected, and more.

It's been a long year since I first saw the 2007 XK. At the recent International Car show in DC, it was look, but don't touch. Wasn't until yesterday that I was finally able to actually pop the hood, take a seat behind the wheel, look in the trunk...everything a prospective buyer would want to do. Just couldn't turn the key.
But that didn't change anything. This is by far the most beautiful car I have ever seen and I can't wait till the XKR in the fall!

josephy, i recently had the opportunity to see, feel, touch, drive, the 07 XK. It was a convertible model at our nearest Jaguar dealer. (one State away from me-130 miles away) I agree it was absolutely beautiful. I got to drive it, top down, for many miles, including interstate driving. It was smooth, fast, quiet, refined, compared to my current 05 XK8. HOWEVER, the interior was very "boring". The touch screen totally disappeared in any light. Driving against, or into the sun, the standard touch screen was not visble at all. The new rear "spoiler" fell off when the back hatch was closed. The interior was nice, but was disappointing compared to the ads i have been following for so so long. In spite of the above complaints, i wanted to be the first in my town to have one. The dealer (0ne State away) refused to deal, and did not factor in that i have purchased two Jags in the past from them!!!
Just an FYI from a current but now past Jag owner

GaryG, I'm not a convertible fan, so the coupe will be my choice. Hopefully that will keep the glare inside the cockpit to a min. Bizarre that the spoiler would fall off!
I sincerely doubt that any dealer is going to want to deal on this car for some time to come. Was reading in an earlier post that over 7,000 pre-orders had already been submitted...so the demand for the ride is going to be high, making negotiations difficult. But you should have gotten some free floor mats, at least!

i agree, at least free mats!!! the coupe is my choice too, the disappearing screen seems to be a known issue they have already discovered is a weakness, all in all a beautiful, fast, stand out vehicle!!!

I have just seen my 1st 07 Jaguar Coupe on the Road, its a real head turning its beautiful, and sexy car, I have to get it. I was going to get the 6 series BMW but now, I want this. My only worry is residual values on Jag's they are usually not so great. I'm looking to lease one. (business owner) BMW has great residuals. Any info on the residual value yet on the new XK. Are any members leasing one, and can give me some leasing info, so I have some idea?

i dont know the numbers, residuals, but my dealer, whom i had bought 2 prior Jags, refused to deal, and said he was not happy with the rates & residuals, Jag was using to work deals. I know i walked away, after 4 very happy years in two different jags, and my new Porsche 997/911 will be here in June. I too am a business owner, i lease, but i do have a limit. I leased a Porsche with a 11K higher sticker, for a shorter term, for less monthly. I too wanted the 07 XK!!!!!
