That the guy who designed this
Jag XK-Concept
Also designed this :bang:
Aston DB9
I am not sure whether we have been through this discussion before, it's just that they had the XK on TG on Sunday, and the similarities are glaring! It's almost the same blody car!

Oh man, 35th, that's funny, and the more I think about it, the more you are right. Except for the lower price.

Are there many differences power wise or are the plants very close too?

the engines are completely different. I cannot understand Jag (of Aston) allowing their new car to look so much like a DB. There seems a lack of designers at present....

There's a thread in this forum called Production XK somewhere, that'll give you more pics and info.

I meant looks wise similar, not component. Should have thought that one through I guess. Plus the Jag is a 2+2, and this Aston might be a 2+0 (I know you can get a Vanquish in either configuration, and I am pretty sure the new V8 is just a 2 seater, but I am not sure about the DB9...)
Personally I see too much Mazda in the new Jag (esp. the rear tail-lamps) and for some reason the headlights just bother me.

I looked at the XK Concept for a long time before scrolling down to the DB9. As I looked at the lines of the XK I kept thinking, hmmmm, whole lotta AM in that design. Now I know why.
