Reminds me of the old style 2 seat Jag.

My GSM was looking at a Jaguar XKR the other day. Personally, I don't think that vehicle looks too bad at all!

I do love the looks of the Z8. ;thumbup: They did not depreciate much either.

I have seen two to date... one was just outside my neighborhood. The second was today, at the BMW store getting some service done.

I get the feeling that it is the same exact car.

They are only making 8,000 of these total. All left steer, steering wheel on the right side. Not sure if I could get use to that Not even sure I can shift with my left hand. And for the kind of bucks those puppies cost, I would just buy a 911 or M5.

They were $120,000 new. Dropped down to $80,000 used after a few years and haven't moved a cent from around $80,000 - $90,000 since. Now that's some value retention

I looked at them a few months ago and was surprised to see them hanging in the 90's.

- I love the BMW M5, that car is absolutely gorgeous!


Kind of confused by your "left steer, steering wheel on the right side" comment. Do you mean left shift?
