Update: I got an XKR and it is awesome! Super-fun to drive, like surfing along the road. I even can fit 2 kid car seats in the back seat. My kids dig riding around w/the top down. Very LA!

I never used to be a car guy but living in LA for 4 years has turned me into one. I have been driving a virtuous hybrid for the last 3.5 years and now want a fun car. So I find myself lusting madly after the Jaguar XKR convertible. TOTALLY LOVE IT!!! Sleek, elegant, sexy, fun to drive. Looks a lot like the aston martin db9 (the car I really want but cannot yet afford). I can totally imagine excellent w/e trips up or down the cali coast at high speeds. The XKR is not exactly a practical car for me since I have 2 kids but I feel like I have spent a lot of time being practical in my life & driving and want to have some fun. That, of course, means I definitely want to get the convertible version ;-)

Also, shockingly, the XKR gets about the same fuel efficiency/mpg as my Ford Escape Hybrid. So maybe the XKR is not as unvirtuous as it might first appear.

DO IT. It's as easy as Kevin inserting a row into a spreadsheet!

I love this too....you could get an Aston or you could get one of these for under 100G's. I still want an Aston but this will do. They are wicked everything.
