Post New Jaguar XK8 sports car

Hello, I interest a nice car liek a jaguar, may be any one like this cars too, please write overhere or to my email (see my profile) ths.
Here is some new info about Jaguar XK8. This is real sports car!

Do you remember the movie "10" where Dudley Moore's character falls madly in lust-at-first-sight with Bo Derek? Well, one day he finds himself alone with her in a hotel room and she's willing to make all of his dreams come true. But he finds that once he got past that drop-dead gorgeous exterior there wasn't much to get excited about.
You might say that that's how I feel about the XK8.
I love Jags. I still think that the E type (the car that surely inspired the XK8) is the most beautiful car ever made. So you can imagine my excitement as I was handed the keys to a long, sleek, silver coupe to cruise around in for a week.
I hit the key fob and it chirped and let me in. I slid behind the steering wheel and gazed at all the leather and dark buried wood trim, cranked up the 294 hp V-8 and turned up the 320-watt Alpine stereo, but something wasn't right. A car that cruises the freeways like this should be a lot more comfortable to drive.
Now, I'm not a big guy but as many different times as I tried to adjust the power seats, I couldn't keep the side bolsters from poking me in the shoulder blades. The seats were just plain uncomfortable. My wife, who could care less about Jaguars got the same treatment, so it wasn't just something I had conjured up.

Default jag?

Not sure what the jag has to do with military... but here it goes:
The jag xk8 without doubt is the car to have. New jag as more room in the back in case u like to carry around kids, much lighter for 'rabbit' pick up speed, the new navigation is too die for, and not to mention the new covertible roof top is much cleaner, faster and all hidden. The only down side is the price. But the smart money always waits after the first year anyway, right?

I agree the jag might be a neat car, but has little to do with the military. Although this is supposed to be an off topic forum.

I can't say I would really want one, they are nice looking cars, just not my cup of tea.
