I like the new body lines, looking more and more like an Aston.

Meh, it's still a Jag. There are many other Convertible GT's including some used ones I would rather have.

I am not liking the rear half of the db9 convertible. way too flat.

M6 was a thought but i think the tailgate is hiddeous.

I had SL500,55, 600, and rear seats are important this time around. Seeking a european drop top with rear seats and good power. i wanted the bentley gtc, but unwilling to pay 40 tot 90 over sicker.

Anything else?

Shank - Just get the Arden kit (it's on a thread somewhere around here) and the XKR will be good to go. There are many rumors flying that Jag will be putting out an XK-R R-type (XK-RR?) in the near future. Might be worth waiting for... 500+ hp. I can't imagine it would cost more than $100K.

That's about it, unless you would consider a 997 Cabrio or a Targa, both of which have pretty small back seats as you already know.

REAR seats!! The Xk's seats are jump seats! Not usable

Here is my list of cars I would get...

--M6 Cab with the new 590R series in 21"--
--DB9 cab, these babies depreciated like crazy!!--
--V8 Vantage cab--
--Restlyed SL63 should be out soon??
