I think it looks well tacky, but thats just me
 The wheels look like some kind of pubescent boy fantasy based around the original classic E-type wire wheels  It's not even a Jaguar and is basically an XKR with a matchbox body kit on and a remap. The E-type is such an iconic model of style, that this thing smells of bad taste rather than flattering or evolving on from the original --------------------

...as in 'new' Mini, 500, Beetle, Ford GT, Challenger, Camaro blah blah blah Despite being (in some cases) capable cars, they are all tack IMO. An astra/focus/civic or even 911 etc can legitimately evolve through different models, but these modern 'takes' on 60s designs that often have nothing to do with the originals (see enormous 'BMW' Mini or 'FF 'Golf in a tie-dye skirt' Beetle) are just automotive abominations; cashing in on heritage for a fast buck and defiling the original with a plastic soulless silouette. I know I'm ranting from my soapbox but  . --------------------  |

Yay! someone who agrees! I know it's not british or actually a Jag, which is very very sad, but I can't help it, I love the look of it! |
