Put a gun to my head, hand over a winning lottery ticket and tell me to go out and bring back the best grand touring sports car money can buy, and I may just return with a Jaguar XK. Ask for the best large or midsize luxury saloon, however, and you will not get a car crowned by a leaping jungle cat. Read Dan Roth’s review of the 2007 Jaguar XK Convertible, and you’ll wonder just how the current XJ, S-Type and X-Type can be sold under the same brand as the XK Coupe and Convertible.
So what happens when you add an “R” to the XK? For one, the price jumps by $11,000 to $92,500. Aside from that, the high-performance version of Jaguar’s sexy drop top kicks things up a notch from mild to medium strength. As good as the XK is, does the additional consonant make that big of a difference?
