www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday July 12, 2006 - 25 Auto EVERYTHING Jaguar XK wins prestigious awards at the Auto Express New Car Honours Jaguar's new XK sports car has claimed the prestigious 'Car of the Year' award at the 2006 Auto Express Magazine New Car Honours. The XK Coupe also came out on top in the 'Best Coupe' category, ahead of the BMW 6 Series and the Porsche 911. David Johns, Editor-in-Chief at Auto Express said: "From the moment we first heard rumours about the new Jaguar XK we were excited. When the first pictures appeared we were hooked and early passenger rides in prototypes merely served to heighten our anticipation. "It was only when we drove Coventry's cat back to back against rivals on UK roads that we realized what an astonishing achievement this car really is. The driving experience matches your mood - soothing for a long drive home after work, invigorating for a weekend blast. "What's more it proves Britain still has the expertise, experience and ability to produce world-beaters. Groundbreaking, bold, beguiling and breathtaking, the Jaguar XK is a British sports car that we can all be proud of." The XK has already picked up other notable awards since its launch this year, one of which was the 'Most exciting car to be launched in 2006' awarded by What Car? Magazine. Others were in recognition of exceptional safety features on the car: the Prince Michael Award for Safety and the World Traffic Safety Symposium's Traffic Safety Achievement Award in the Automaker category. Before you buy, we dare you to compare Kia to the competition.
