The DB9, which was designed by Ian Callum and finished by his successor, Henrik Fisker, superseded the now-discontinued Aston Martin DB7 (also by Callum) which started production in 1994.The current XKR Jaguar was also designed by the same designer.

You probably were standing on the Daewoo stand looking at Holdens though.Lol.

Yes Jags have sold like hot cakes because they look like the Aston. Beautiful car but of course you don’t like it,Ford owned it then. What do you like apart from Holdens?

I wonder if Mahindra will use tele-marketers to call everyone in the Whitepages to see if they would like to buy a car.

I thought Mr Callum designed the original XKR, which was stunning.

But when I saw the current one at the Sydney Motor Show last year, I thought I had arrived at the Daewoo stand. The forced healight unit. The overwrought side vents. Oh dear.

But my opinion is meaningless, Jaguars are selling like hotcakes, aren’t they? The punters with the money are the one’s whose opinions truly count.

I’ll pass your last comment on to David Callum, the guy who designed it (and the DB7) he’ll be delighted!

New XKR looks like it was styled in Korea.

Jag has one or two moderately decent cars with average residual and good luck finding a Dealer.

Land Rovers are tremendous . . . when they are going. But I guarantee you will break down in a more remote, pituresque wilderness in a LR than you will in any other brand.

Peace.

Jag have some hot new cars on the way and guess you don’t think much of the new XKR. How you can call the XK boring is beyond me!

And while we’re on it, Land Rover not only build the most capable off road machines on the planet, but the styling leaves all other makes for dead.

Always have, always will!

FIRST!

FIAT Group, are interested but want to buy it at the lowest possible price

So i would say *others* are more keen and will pay more than what its worth [1 cent IMHO:-)]

The fire-sale ends at the end of July, so *somebody* new should have put its hand up by then!

NRMA theft ratings are interesting for the Mahindra Pik-Up.

http://www.nrma.com.au/pub/nrm.....cial.shtml

Theft from: 7/100
ID: 0/100
Theft resistance: 0/100
Overall 2/120.

Maybe the manufacture knows that thieves won’t be interested in this P.O.S. and didn’t bother fitting… well any security devices at all. Gee, do then even bother to give you a set of keys with it, cause your probably not going to need them.
