The Jaguar XK is a very nice car, but IMHO it's hardly something revolutionary. I personally would have picked the Aston Martin's over the Jag because they look so much better, sportier and classy IMO.

I think the winner for the COTY awards should always be a car that has done something amazing or is revolutionary etc.

I beleive the M6 and Vantage are 2005 cars which left the Jag with unfirce competition for the 2006 award.

On the same note he said its the best convertible u can buy as long as u keep it below 130.
Lame.
