Jaguar C-X16

So Jaguar is finally getting serious about a smaller sports car. but looking at the concept, I wished they had waited a bit longer: the proportions are fine, but what is it with all these vents, air intakes and silly sills. after the XK and the XJ (never mind the ridiculous blinded rear pillar - it would work if it wasn't for the chrome window surround) it looked as if Jaguar had found its calling as sleek, modern and clean designs. but this? to my knowledge they are not racing anywhere anymore, so why the fake attire? and the interior looks like a mix between an Aston DB9, an Audi R8 and a brothel. hardly a classy atmosphere, let alone something worthy of a show car.
