Top Gear testing a Jagur XKR vs Aston Martin

The Jaguar XK series (XK8 and XKR) is a grand tourer produced by British car maker Jaguar since 1996. The car was introduced in Geneva Motor Show on 5 March 1996. It is the replacement of the XJS, and is available as a coupé and convertible. Currently in its second generation, the XK8 was the first 8 cylinder vehicle produced by Jaguar, when the Jaguar AJ-V8 engine was introduced


Aston Martin Lagonda Limited is a British manufacturer of luxury sports cars, based in Gaydon, Warwickshire. The company name is derived from the name of one of the company's founders, Lionel Martin, and from the Aston Hill speed hillclimb near Aston Clinton in Buckinghamshire[2]

From 1994 until 2007 Aston Martin was part of the Ford Motor Company, becoming part of the company's Premier Automotive Group in 2000. On 12 March 2007, it was purchased for £479 million (US$848 million) by a joint venture company, co-owned by Investment Dar and Adeem Investment of Kuwait and English businessman John Sinders.[3] Ford retained a US$77 million stake in Aston Martin, valuing the company at US$925 million

@spartan00547 I was referring to the mispelled title, duh. It's "Jaguar" not "Jagur".

Now please, gtfo.

[xBagheera87x]

every top gear video i go to, every ones always arguing with each other, or they almost always have something negative to say. there's really no point in even reading comments anymore.

"You gotta say, it looks good"

No I don't, my toenails looks better than this

[ndfedfan]

Really, the Jag over the Aston? Sorry Jeremy, this is just wrong...

[555NaKuL]

@G0ML3 He actually owns/owned a SL 55 AMG

@555NaKuL

and jeremy used to own a 500sl hmm, why not a xkr convertible which he praised through the roof. apparently it was the engine and the folding hard top, so he didn't buy with his heart then

@Channel4Four +1 Russians are incredibly brainwashed and humourless.

@pimpninja1985 So you missed all the criticisms of the cars then? Why are foreigners so upset that Britain makes excellent cars? We make the best shows, we make some of the best cars. If you don't like it watch whatever garbage nationalist propaganda is on TV in your country.

It's JAGUAR, not jagur! (and i don't give a shit if someone already have corrected you)

anyways, nice video:)

[sootyferrari65]

I might be alone here... but I think the Jag looks better

Well until I can afford an Aston I will continue to drive my Jaguar XKR . She is an absolute Blast to drive.
