The stylish XK coupe and convertible deftly blend traditional wood-and-leather luxury with satisfying athleticism. For 2007, the XK was redesigned with an all-aluminum body. Handling is quite nimble, considering the comfortable ride. The strong V8 engines and six-speed automatic transmission operate with a great deal of sophistication.
