When it comes to the XK, Jaguar has earned the right to brag about its looks, as it figures among the most attractive in its category. Available as a coupe or convertible, the only changes made to the XK for 2012 are slight aesthetic touch-ups. The base and XKR versions are back this year, in addition to the sportier XKR-S. This more athletic version is just like the XKR, except for certain style changes and its 550 horses.
