I think they're talking about the gaping single grille

I would say the connection is somewhat tenuous.


Large trapezoidal grill with relatively thick grillwork
Large centered round medallion
Thin three-part line running across the bottom.
Large openings on the left and right side just above this 3-part line
Similar fender flares when viewed from the three-quarter profile
The spoking of the wheels has a similar vibe.

That's all I meant by Chrysler-esque.
Obviously there are some significant differences.
The profile is totally different.
And from the front view the headlight clusters and (lack of) foglamps are completely unrelated.

Apparently these cars seem more dissimilar to most of you than to me.
And that is an interesting comment on the individuality of human perception. And none of us are "wrong" on such subjective matters. (Except for all of you! )

Personally, I like older smoother Jaguars and dislike the American/German style "creasing" on British cars. Or, really, on any cars. Heck, I even hate the creasing on recent BMWs (and I'm far from alone on that one... ).

I love British sports cars and think they should look "British" by whatever arbitrary, biased, half-baked personal definition I have of "British".
...And, naturally, leave it up to my stereotypical American arrogance to define what "British" or "Italian" or "German" should mean!
