I'm with Josh. I like the looks of the Jag, but I'm definitely taking a c6 or c7 over it.

maybe I am just getting old, but I like comfort more and more lately. The C6 I looked at and drove before buying the S4 was not too comfortable. The S4 was more comfortable, and offered a bit of a trunk.
I sat in, but did not drive the new F type. I was very comfortable. The wife was not comfortable with the price of the F type. Actually, the biggest issue with the C6 was getting into it. Once seated, I could get comfortable, but getting into it took me about 30 seconds every time. Funny, I could exit the C6 quickly, just had a tough time entering it.

We went to the Radnor Concours this weekend and had an absolutely wonderful time. Here's a couple pics:
I'll post some more later.

Last ones for now, a German Diesel and another piece of American Iron.

About 4 years ago I was driving home from work and saw a similar Bugatti coming towards me and turn left to head south when I was about to turn north on the same street...
I REALLY wish I got a pic of that. No idea if it was real or a replica, but what a sight to see...

I've seen a few of the C7s about and I like them, though the back end leaves me rather unimpressed. The rest of the car is looks so good and then you get to the rear end and it's like "oh, well.... hm.." I don't find it bad but it looks a little too trendy for my taste. Bu that's just one aspect of the car.
This one struck me as a bit odd seeing a high-end marque up on jack stands in a service shop's parking lot. .

I'm guessing that Maseratti was a pothole victim... Both rims likely bent and off getting repaired. But yikes, those jack stands seem a bit big...
As for the C7... Like most of you, it looks great except for the rear. The rear view is interesting, and not ugly, but there's just something too aggressive and "not Corvette" about it (and its not the rectangular tail-lights instead of oval). But the convertible version fixes that for me -- looks great with the top down...
