Sisma Auto, sole importer and distributor for Jaguar in Malaysia, annouce earlier price reduce for Jaguar up to RM280,000 due to the reduction in duties in the new tax structure, guess it will boost the sales.

from my personal view,this model as above looks totally diff compared to previous models from JAGUAR,looks really good with nice frontage!

the front looks almost like a aston martin...

That's because the Jaguar XK was designed by the same guy who did the new Astons. The XK is also based on the DB9 platform.

The baby Aston, the V8 Vantage also uses the same engine as the Jag but tuned to produce more power.

All this isn't surprising as both Aston Martin and Jaguar are owned by Ford.

And looking at it in a good way, the new XK really is a cut price Aston.

Hahaha, you think the XK would sell for less than 300k?

Look nearer to how much the 6 series or the 911 costs and it'll be around there.
