Although it’s been on the market for several years now, both the coupe and cabriolet versions of the XK still turn heads. Technically, it’s a four-seater, but don’t expect to use the back seats for anything but grocery bags. This big cat gets its purr from the same V8 as the other Jaguars, namely a 5.0L featuring 385, 510 or 550 horsepower. However, the automatic transmission has only six speeds. In 2014, the family will welcome a new member: an XKR-S GT.
