Wouldn't it be sweet if Ian Callum gets his wish?

I would love to see the XK return, even if it is just a lengthened 2+2 F type. It could tuned more to the GT side of the equation. Sales would probably come from the F type sector. Even with four seats it really wouldn't be practical transportation for four adults, just kids in the back. I think that cars like the F are "reward cars" and that the owners will have other more practical cars available. The F is a more serious sporting car than even the last XKs were. I don't think that sales of a new XK would be too numerous.

If JLR were to make an X150 replacement, it would probably be along the lines of the Porsche Panamera since most people wanting a luxury, grand tourer would like easy access to the rear seats and more interior room.
I personally find the Panamera to be quite ugly, but it does appeal to those wanting a mix of sporty performance, comfort and room.

I realize it appears patriotic and bombastic. Because I misspoke and said Jaguar instead of Range Rover or JLR.
Just to clear the air, patriotism as you know it here does not exist in Britain because its seen as a form of discrimination, and it is. 'America First' for instance is another way of saying everybody else second.
Range Rover created the category of luxury sport utility vehicles. It was considered ludicrous for a G-Wagen to be luxurious or sporty. I realize they are now. But not when Range Rover had them. True of the Land Cruiser and Suburban.

The current contract for the v8 runs out in 2020, or 2 years from now. Sooner than a brake flush.

I interpret "America First", as things need to be in our own interest for us to pursue.
It is really better if countries take this stance, it protects their people from power hungry outsiders that do not care about local customs and ways.
However, a line must be drawn between attempting to force your nation on the world, and protecting your nation from the world. Accept from others what can work for you, give to others should they accept. This is the way it should be.
We in the US were on a losing side of receiving international regulations that did not suit our people or land. It is good that is being stopped.

I appreciate that, however Great Britain has rarely been that way.
Never in a month of Sundays would Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Aston, Lotus, Range Rover, Daimler, Bentley and Harrods be allowed to be sold to foreign interests if they were American brands- there would be a revolution first.
Keep in mind most those companies have Royal Warrants, they supply the Queen.
