I am wanting to scratch a big V8 itch and have been looking at the 4.2 XKR when I spotted this. Schumacher in a Fiat coupe and Webber in a Jag coupe...

I'm just not sure about the dash - it's very, well, Jag! Bit old looking and the stereo side of things are also a bit poo. On the other hand the rest is awesome!
I've spent on average £300 a month on the coupe this year (Jan - Sept) and there is still lots I'd like to do and £300 quid a month would buy alot of Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag!

So do I - alot! My dad has the V12 XJS and the dash on that, in my opinion, is much easier on the eye. Still the outside is sweet!

I also thought about an XKR. What put me off was the no-manual option, the barge appearance* (though easily sorted with a nice skirt kit.. there was one fitted as standard to a special edition model whose name escapes me, but it really did make it look so much more modern), and finally the interior (mainly the dash) was just a bit too old person for my liking.
Oh and forget the back seats unless your kids are very small!
*albeit still a very nice looking barge! Didn't mean it to sound quite that negative.. nice looking cars

I have 3 kids so the car is technically my toy as you can't run 5 round in a Fiat coupe either!
I like the ones with skirts and 20 inch rims, I can live with the dash and lack of manual changes for the pleasure of whafting about.
MPG is quoted as 15 - 29 depending on circumstances.
I'd have the S Type R but they do look a bit like old man pj's!
