Whenever I see an XKR I always get a tingling sensation. The Nissan, whilst I appreciate that it is technically a better car, just doesn't make me tingle.

With the extra money you'd spend on the XKR, you could instead spend it on making the GTR into a complete beast
Nissan = £72000
Jaguar = £97000
Then upgrade to a spec like this:
Switzer e900 GTR Ethanol Powered Supercar: Driven

You're missing the point. That still doesn't make me tingle. I'd rather have a standard XKR for £75k.

Also, why did Clarkson even compare the XKR-S with the GTR and not the equivalent Aston, Porsche or Audi?
Back when Jaguar and Aston were both owned by Ford, Clarkson used to always complain that the XK's were watered down as to not take sales from Astons.

Not to be funny, but the tingling seems to be more related to the badge. Why not put the badge on the Nissan and have the best of both worlds?

When looked at in the flesh I've always found the 2nd generation XK to be one of the fittest cars currently made. In my opinion the Nissan looks like AIDS. :)

I agree somewhat. Whilst the GTR isn't a looker, the Jag isn't exactly that great. You can see that it's a DB9 ripoff with an E type style nose grafted on and a bit of Jaguarness added. Tbh it looks pretty unresolved to me.

All current Astons and the last two XK's have all been DB7 ripoffs. :p
