All this being said, I wouldn't turn down an XKR-S if someone wanted to give me a nice present!!

I don't think anyone would pay $30k for 40HP. There is a LOT more to this car than just a 40HP difference.

Good point. I guess what I meant is that the XKR is enough for me and I really couldn't justify the additional expense of an XKR-S. I really do prefer the look of the XKR in the 2011 model anyway.

Cannot wait to drive the XKR-S, looks utterly brutal.

The XKR-S looks totally bad ***! That said, I agree with the above poster in that the 2010-2011 XKR's look better, sportier, and more aggressive than the 2012's. What's up with that, Jaguar?
