Sketches looks good. But again, Jaguar has lost the plot. Could have been a BMW Z4 or a Porsche Boxster rival instead. Priced it below 30-grand for the roadster, it'll sell like hot cakes. Mercedes-Benz product planners understands it very well with the SLK.

Umm... from everything everyone has said, this is supposed to be a Z4, Boxter/Cayman, and SLK rival. What have you read that has told you otherwise?

It is just a shortened XK with two seats and it looks large to be an SLK rival. Jaguar needs to work hard on its price and quality in order to compete with the Germans if they want be in the same league as them. More importantly they need to get a right product for its right customers. At this rate customers prefer to pay more for a German car than a Jaguar.

It's far too early to make any assumptions based on appearance. It's not due for another 2 years, so that cut-and-shut body is just covering the powertrain. As the sketch shows, it will look nothing like the prototypes. With V6s, it probably is a Z4/SLK rival, aiming at the upper half of the range (until they add a 4-pot base model if they do). I wouldn't jump to conclusions this early on.

I also fail to follow the logic of that comment...but a starting price below 30 grand is dreaming.

Looks good so far. But I have no confidence in Jaguar pulling this off. Its just a sketch. I would not bet on the final result being anything to shout about. Nor does it say anything about how its going to drive. This could never compete as a drivers car against a Boxster more like competition for the SLK. Also its going to be a coupe, the cabrio will be more expensive still what will be the price of the cabrio will the coupe be less than an SLK if not the cabrio will not be competitive if the coupe is the same price as the SLK.

Jag has a history of failing to deliver on concepts to market. Don't hold your breath.
