Couple of things, firstly the Jag looked good in the flesh, a bit bigger than I anticipated and the grill was awful (IMO) but otherwise good presence and good Jag influences and touches.
Secondly, you state above that the Aston Martin Rapide shows how it should be done yet having spoken to two car collectors and Aston fans (and owners) at Geneva both saying that the Aston is not really a 4 seater (enough room, but access, egress and vista all severely compromised) and that the Panamera in particular is a far superior car in this instance.
And subsequently back to my beloved X6

it thus performs a fantastic service in satiating my needs: four doors, roomy, high seating, 4WD, rakish aggresive looks (some say 'pumped up Nike' looking

but great IMO) modern reliable and practical....
There are and of course will be many others who will not want or need the above criteria and that's what makes variety great.
