Brings back the Classic E-Type! The most gorgeous car ever designed! And Jeremy Clarkson even thinks the V-8 Supercharged is too much POWAAAAARRRRR!

Best looking car and makes cool noises. Sub-Zero.

I'm honestly debating about putting this with the DB5....

This is probably one of the best designed car in the last decade, it sounds like Satans own personal hellhound and goes like one too... and essentially a car that looks just as good as any Aston... for half the damn price..

This is definitely sub-zero+ worthy

Amazing car, uncool.

It's a training shoe that's trying too hard with little "look at me!" ducts, boy racer disc brakes and wheels, and the rag top compensating for a loss of hair.

Sub-Zero definition: show up to a fancy well to do event and help Kristin Scott Thomas out of the vehicle to the shindig of the year. That is not this car. Check out the other Sub Zero cars, they all fit this definition.

Also remember that any car owned by a presenter, footballer, or other frivolous celebrity is automatically demoted, I guarantee at least 2 of the three will come to pass but I would gamble that all three are certainly possible, although I'm terribly behind on my Top Gear so I'm not sure about their feelings.

The local Jaguar dealership has two of these sitting on display, one of them being the orange color. I have to say, I really liked it.

The sound (supercharged V6 model) is what sold me on the car. Glorious sounding.

Rear looks weak, front end too nose-heavy relative to the rear. Doesn't deserve to be in the same room as an E-Type. Prefer the look of the new Stingray. Plus the C7 gives a much bigger bang for the buck.

Going with just "cool." Beautiful car, but its a tad understated to be sub zero.

It's a fantastic looking car, but not for $100,000.

I'd probably be more inclined to get a C7 Z51 Stingray or Cayman GTS over it.

Or the new Alfa 4C.
