Hi Nicolas, i'd choose the 500 over the mini any day. I saw an XKSS and from an angle i couldn't help but realize that the body profile from rear wing to front resembled the curves from a naked woman's bottom lying front down (rear wing), the dip in the lower back (curve going through the door) coming up to the curved upper back rounded off to the shoulders (front wing) and i thought what a beauty. its got more french curves than you can point a finger at :-D

i guess there are pro's and con's of electric and petrol but i'd like to keep originality in the theme of the cars. I'd like Jag to revive the iconic straight six they were famed for using in their cars over the V6 they currently thinking of using but i guess their finances limit what they can do. I also want the engine to be a piece of art to admire as well as the car itself, nowadays we see all these engine covers and it kind of spoils it. when we see a beating heart in a chest cavity we get shocked and amazed but when you lift the bonnet you see a plastic cover and its not so exciting to see. i can only think of Lambo, Ferrari and Alfa's chromed V6 who are keeping this tradition true.

I guess rich car enthusiasts can help but the issue is if they decide to downsize considerably and that will cause a big political issue in the country and they need to understand the financial cost of investment needed. JLR £1bn a year investment is quite a small amount but their XF estate is such a beautiful car that its the best compromise between practicality and beauty compared to the other cars and they are getting there slowly. As for Alfa they need to design their cars like they are beautiful concept cars. the 159 is an ideal example, it looks unlike any other and quite a rarity to see on the roads. the Mito and Giuletta are good looking but i feel they very similar to the 8C and if i'm honest they need to be distinctive cars and i feel they have rushed it to cash in on the market to help push up Alfa's finances and being Alfa they could have tried better but nonetheless they are quite good looking cars inside and out.
