Well,
Let's start with the worst rear end of the four, the Bentley, just plain ugly.
Second worst is the Maserati, just not shapely.
The Aston and the Jaguar are very close. I like elements of each. I very much like the simplicity and elegance of the Aston rear end as well as the taillights. I very much DISLIKE the single exhaust pipes poking through the open slot below the bumper, they disappear.
The XKR's rear is the most shapely and the dual exhaust pipes on each side give it the most aggressive look. However, there is a certain busy-ness to it, with emblems, different shapes of the lights...
I would vote it a draw between the XKR and the Aston.
Finally, I have an alternative! (See below)

The Maserati is a surprise, in some ways they look beautiful, but there is always something odd about them.

big hips
The DB9 and xkr have very similar looking rear windows so can't seperate the two there however once we move down to the actual rear of the vehicle thats where the similarities end . The xkr has the rounder, fuller & wider looking rear end creating a super aggressive look whilst the DB9 has more of a squarish look to it more like the maserati in comparison.
I do like the look of the maserati tail pipes they look super neat tucked in the rear bumper yet still maintain a aggressive look to the vehicle
The DB9 tailpipes do look very weak and look like the belong on a 4cyl they need to be a lot larger in diameter to match the rest the vehicle
Personally I think the best viewing point of a xkr is from the rear its perfection in contrast with the Maserati I think the worst angle to view it from is the rear its a let down compared to the rest of the vehicle however having said that its side profile can't be beaten

However I pose this question Vantage S vs F-type ...sorry but looks like I might have opened a can of worms
