Proportions are a bit GT86 esque only with the plus size feline factor taken into account of the average buyer. Add in the mid-life crisis, considering middle age starts at 55 now...

I like that chilled. It does look like a GT86 with big power. Suits my straight line hero style

I think, bar the wheels, that looks like Vantage evolved rather than the current devolved Chav tat Aston churn out

I work at the JLR plant over at Gaydon the car looks a lot better in the flesh, seen a pre-production coupe in the design studio when the concept first came out and it looked the bollocks with some nice carbon fibre trim inside. Been informed the supercharged v6 is going after the cayman not the boxster.

I think that's true of many cars now. And the Jaaag doesn't look too shabby in the photos, either.

There's a lot of E-type voluptuousness in the shoulder and hip lines - probably helps explain why it's very wide.

My main concern is the cheater panel (should that be cheetah panel?) - in that photograph, it looks like the Jaaag may turn out to be a much slower car than the 86, because the latter has a proper quarterlight.

Saw a group of 4 of these in that camouflage black and white vinyl wrap they use to disguise them coming out of rockingham speedway the other day. Must have been testing them because all I could hear at work was some cars hooning round the track all day (my work is next door to the circuit).

They look nice, like mini XKR softops! Although still bigger than the S.

It might have been mentioned but how much are they going to cost?
