I think the Aston looks better, but the jag isn't far behind.

They are both great, but I can't deny the Aston a win here. Its not that the Jag is bad, its just not as stunning. I dont like the way the front valence turned out on it. I'm hardpressed to find flaws like that in the Aston

Aston for me too. I like em both, but the tiebreaker was styling, and thats a contest that aston martin never loses.

I would say the Aston by a touch, mainly because of its V12.

But the Jag is mighty fine in its own right. Pulled up to a gas station and a black Jag coupe was also filling up and it was, as their ads say, gorgeous.

Jag is great, but Aston wins this in head to head.

Not fair! It's like being forced to choose between two gorgeous women with great personalities...

Sorry, can't pick one or the other - would have to take both.

Sorry, the new XKR does nothing for me. It looks like the bastard baby of a DB7 and a Mazda MX-5. I so much more prefer the previous XKR.

Actually, IIRC, both the Aston and the Jag were penned by the same designer, so perhaps it's less a case of the Jag trying simply to ape the Aston's lines than it is in actually sharing the same aesthetic DNA.
