Rendered Speculation: Jaguar C-Type draws its claws {Autoblog}
Jun 4th 2009 3:36PM @BoxerFanatic: I was going to respond that you were off base, but then I discovered that you cut-n-pasted your first paragraph without researching it, so I'll just point out that $5595 in 1961 is equivalent to about $35,000 today (more than the Miata, I'll admit - that price is more in line with a Honda S2000). And the E Type was significantly better than the Corvette, Aston, etc. The E was the only production sports car at that time that could approach 150mph. In terms of bang for the buck, the E was unrivaled at that time. Jaguar hasn't had a car that fits that description since the E went out of production.
Heck, with modern suspension and brake components it's a blast to drive today. I'm not beating many people off the line but I have fun trying.

Jun 3rd 2009 9:35PM The problem that Jag has now, and has had for the past 20 years or so, is that they forgot that the reason the E was so successful is that it was CHEAP. Everyone seems to forget that. The E-Type was an inexpensive sports car that had category-beating performance. This car needs to be Miata priced with Z4 performance. As the owner of an E-Type, I've been dreaming of a modern incarnation for years but all these concept cars miss the point, which is cheap/performance/fun.
