Jaguar XK To Make A Possible Return?

Cool, should be interesting. Wonder what the powertrain lineup will be? 

A Warning to Jaguar: Buick tried to bring back the Riviera at the end of the 1990s after a two-year hiatus.  None have been made since 1999.  Let the XK RIP.

Needs to hit the road again....

Remind folks that this company still has balls.....

Nobody cares about a 90's era Buick, and it has no bearing on the topic at hand.

I say Jag should do it. But it really needs to weigh around what the F Type weighs. Could be an opportunity to do some hybrid tech, as well.

The XK needs to be a grand tourer like the S-Class Cabrio or 6-series Cabrio.  Doing so might even give the XJ a reason to live.  They don't sell a lot of them, but the ones they do sell command very high prices.  Sharing with an XJ would minimize development costs.

J-LR has already shown they are willing to do extreme niche high end product with things like the Velar Coupe.

I’d like to see it come back, I always liked the XK.  I don’t think they will sell many though, Jaguar is a sales struggle to begin with and Coupes are not a growing market, but maybe if everyone else is quitting it is time to fill the void.

Jaguar is an odd bird.  Some way, some how, they manage to get by without high volumes.
