+1 on the Jag. Best looking coupe/convert. in that class IMO.

I also think the Range Rover's are pretty sexy for an under 100K TRUCK. Along with the MB CLS.

If money and common sense were not an issue, I would be driving an Aston Martin.

To make the case even more convincing, Navigation is an option on the $150k car.

THe only problem with that car is its cheap looking headlights and taillights. Doesnt really scream high end. Front really reminds of our favorite ford... But then again, head designer was the brother of the guy who designed our favorite car from Ford.

Anyone notice that Jag is in the top 5 JDPA now for quality?
I agree the XK has a nice overall body but I can't get past the lights.
They look like they were taken off a Ford econo-car.

In the original thread on this car everyone said the same thing.
Hopefully Jaguar facelifts it with new headlights within a couple of years.

Depends on which 911 you're referring to. 911's start out under 100K but can run well over that figure, especially for Turbos.

My vote, BTW, based on pure looks and nothing else, would be the new Shelby Mustang in the original blue and white colors.

Interesting pick MMarshall...You and your eye for cars are well respected by all here including myself. However and I know this is obviously subjective but for argument's sake how did you conclude sexy for the Shelby? Powerful, impressive, classic, road beast but sexy?? Just curious.

The M6 is out because of cost

The MB SLK55 is sexy but not really in the same class.

"Sexiest NEW Car for UNDER $100k TOTAL"

The criteria is CAR, NEW and Under $100K... No mention of class

and the CLS63 is well over 100k, even when not fully loaded.

No distronic, no parktronic, no performance package with the LSD, and on ebay no less.

Yes, really. After all, in a previous post you did mention you were looking for "loaded" vehicles did you not?
