Just to prove they can.

They want a sport/luxury image for all their cars, because the X-Type is not very popular, the S-Type is a dressed up Lincoln LS. The only sedan they have that is really the only "real" Jaguar is the XJ.

The XK is truly a luxury GT, but compared to the 6 Series and SL, it is sort of soft. But they will mabey put some of what they have in the XK-RS into the next XKR (due in late 2006/early 2007). But hopefully with a manual available.
