Our latest spy shots reveal the facelifted Jaguar XKR testing near the company’s engineering HQ at Gaydon, ahead of its debut at the Paris show in September. The subtly revised XKR is due to go on sale early in 2009, getting a new front bumper and revised air intakes positioned below the headlights. The rear bumper has also been redesigned and the car now gets LED taillights, which should give the rear of the car a far more modern look at night. Best of all, this facelifted XKR is sporting a new, modern ‘shark fin’ antenna for satnav and radio: forever banishing the old-school retractable aerial found on the original. The facelifted XKR is likely to get Jaguar’s new direct injection 5.0-litre V8 engine when it goes on sale.

Re: First view: Jaguar XK facelift
Gentlemen / Autocar.
Please stop this twaddle now. This is not the reason I log onto this website. I'm interested in cars, like to read about cars and find it to be wonderful that I can now interact with my journal of choice about the cars they feature and their write-ups.
I'm not interests in your egos. If you want to out-write and out-wit one another then I suggest you create your own forum instead of wittering for two pages about anything other than the featured vehicle.
Thank you.

Stephen - my apologies. I misunderstood. You see it was actually Scummyplum's post that you were actually correcting not mine. Sorry.

Oh dear, Stephen. Just as I was warming to you another personal remark spills out. Do you have nothing else better to do ? Best you run along eh ?
