XJ Coupe?
Now, why can't Jaguar make a big coupe like the S-Class Coupe or the Lincoln Mark IX Coupe?
The rear quarter looks very 'British'...
Would any of you buy if Jaguar makes something like that?

I like it, but since i bought my Jag used and cant afford one new, it really doesnt matter what I think haha. For some reason the C pillar looks a little i8 like to me, but I still kinda like it.
MB has the S Coupe, and BMW is coming out with the 8 series again, but thats it I think. There doesnt seem to be a market for big *** coupes anymore, which is unfortunate.

The XJ6C of the 70's still stands as one of the finest Jaguars IMHO. An updated version would be a treat, but seems to be considered by manufacturers as a novelty.
Back in the golden 30's-70's era, it seemed every sedan had a coupe version. Even the 70's Caprice, LeSabre, Cadillacs, Lincolns, etc. all had two door variants. The trend continued into the 90's.
Sales must not have supported the effort to cut them down to two doors, perhaps due to the overhaul required for the unibody construction?
It seems as though today's coupes are branded exclusively as sports cars. Bummer.

Unfortunately the Whole World is now gone completely crazy with its "Double Decker Bus" mania, (aka SUVs), so the chances of new coupes being introduced is now very small. Even the saloons on which they're based aren't selling well at all. Apart from the Jag XJ, when was the last time you saw (1) an S-class Merc, (2) an 7-series BMW, (3) an Audi A8 ?

That being said, i would love to see that. The Buick Avista concept is a pretty nice looking concept

Buy a low mileage 5.0L XKR. They're affordable now and, except for the infamous water pump, are reliable, comfortable, fast and and gorgeous. The 4.2L XKR isn't as fast, but is just as comfortable and gorgeous and doesn't suffer from the water pump problem. Plus they're available as a coupe or convertible.

I had a 1985 Buick Riviera T Type back in the day. Absolutely loved that car . . . unfortunately, somebody else loved it too, as it was stolen from my home. I did manage to get it back a few days later, but the thieves ran the heck out of it, and the electrical system was never quite the same.
