	Preview: 2007 Jaguar XK - MSN Autos
		The lower weight due to the aluminum means the XK coupe and convertible weigh dozens to hundreds of pounds less than their main competitors, the Mercedes-Benz SL and BMW 6-Series, although Cadillac's fiberglass-bodied XLR is lighter still.
		While Jaguar is hoping to emphasize the sportier side of the new car's personality, they cannot ignore the fact—especially in light of the company's current precarious financial position—that it is replacing the luxurious XK8, by far the best-selling sports car in Jaguar's history.
		On their own, the new XKs won't be enough to bring Jaguar back to financial health; the hope is that they will point the way to a new family of stylish, high-tech, lightweight, sporting yet luxurious cars.

	Jaguar XK Convertible - RSportsCars.com
		The launch of the all-new Jaguar XK Convertible marks an exciting new era for Jaguar in terms of both design and engineering, and reinforces the marque’s reputation for building ground-breaking cars that are as rewarding to drive as they are gorgeous to look at.
		The all-new Jaguar XK will be launched in Spring 2006 and will allow Jaguar to emerge as a world leader in Lightweight Vehicle Technology while retaining its reputation for beautifully designed and crafted cars.
		The all-new Jaguar XK is visibly more assertive and sportier than the model it replaces, but in true Jaguar tradition it is also elegant, understated and mature.

		Jaguar XK Los Cabos, Mexico — Beyond its red-tiled roofs and white-washed walls, the One&Only Palmilla Resort offers an irresistible caption for the North American launch of Jaguar’s new XK.
		These aren’t the best of times for Jaguar North America, where sales of the X-Type have fallen off the charts, its XJ isn’t enjoying the reception this marvelous sedan deserves and the S-Type is showing its age.
		Russ Varney, program engineer for the XK and a 30-plus-year veteran of Jaguar, noted the parallel design paths of the coupe and convertible, with the new convertible as stiff (stiff is good) as the outgoing XK-8 coupe.

		In one respect the all-new XK actually has more in common with earlier cars like the original XKs and the C, D and E-types than it does with the most recent XK, and that is the way in which the shape wraps much more tightly around the mechanical underpinnings.
		The all-new XK is visibly more assertive and sporting than the model it replaces, but in true Jaguar tradition it is also elegant and understated.
		The front-wing power vents are a new Jaguar styling signature; the distinctive oval grille opening, prominent hood power-bulge and practicality-enhancing rear liftback door all echo the E-type; while details like the sweeping front and rear light shapes and powerful stance establish Jaguar sports car design firmly in the 21st century.

		Three versions of the XK 140 were produced: Roadster (the open sports version) with 3,347 cars; Drop Head Coupé; (an open, but over-refined version, with a large windscreen, with posts and windows) with 2,740 cars, and Fixed Head Coupé; (closed) with 2,797 cars built.

	Preview Review: 2007 Jaguar XK - Previews - Car and Driver - March 2006
		Jaguar got there first, with shifts "at least 400 milliseconds faster than a standard automatic and 100 milliseconds faster than the best" competitive transmissions.
		The XK now leaps to the top of the class with an excellent set of paddles just behind the wheel; they're large and impossible to miss, and they work in both the drive and sport positions of the shift lever.
		The 2007 XK, in coupe and shortly thereafter softtop, is intentionally several notches higher on the sporting scale than the previous version.

	2007 Jaguar XK Preview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Jaguar hinted at the design direction it would take with last yearâ€™s Advanced Lightweight Coupe Concept, and, as it turns out, the production version of the 2007 XK Coupe looks plenty like that show-stopper.
		Starting with a blank sheet of paper, Jaguar has completely redesigned the 2007 XK to be lighter, roomier and more luxurious while enhancing the classic style of the original version â€“ no small undertaking that involves quite a bit of risk.
		Not only does the re-design reflect long-standing Jaguar styling cues, but as is expected in a car of this pedigree, the new 2007 Jaguar XK is loaded with state of the art technology as well.
