This is your opinion - and that is valid. But for so many of us the original frontal design remains more attractive - and better integrated into the overall shape of the car. In the design history of Jaguar cars the original has always been the purest and most cohesive (think of the first E-Type versus the last E-Type) - one significant deviation is in the Series III XJ which was declared to be the most beautiful sedan in the world (and it was, and, arguably, still is).

Most likely, I know mine gets them. It's amazing how much more attention having the correct color combination commands.

Yup, and that front end is just as bad. It looks like a late-model Miata with a mustache. Swing and miss. I think the new Aston Vantage design language has really suffered along with the F-Type the last year or two.

The previous design could have been updated just by removing the horizontal bar from the middle of the grill and I would have still liked it. I think the previous headlights looked good, and as others have mentioned were a design tribute to the pre-1967 (or whatever the last year was with the headlights under glass) E types.
But the 2021 model is such an attractive car from all angles in general, I sure won't be wearing a disguise to hide my shame while driving one in case anybody recognizes me.

Even though I lust after an R or SVR I reckon I will be keeping what I have until I am pushing up daisies!

I remember the first time I saw a 2+2 E Type. I was puzzled at why the beautiful lines looked distorted. I got closer and peered into the windows and saw why. And was really disturbed to see that it had an automatic. I had never heard the term 'secretary special" before but when I did I remembered that Jag. And the 2+2 Nissan 260Z's.
