Yes. Amazing to me that the Taurus, Jaguar and AM now look the same (or similar enough to loose any unique styling cues). Brand management to the rediculous.

The first pic is actually of the New Jaguar XK.. not a Taurus as stated (for comedy's sake I assume )

Yes it is.
Ford owns Jag. And if you look inside a new Land Rover(Pick any) you'll see a nice Ford "inspired" steering wheel and dashboard. They own Aston Martin too. Prt ofthe "Premiere Automotive Group".

I agree that the new Jag leaves a lot to be desired, but I would never mistake it for an Aston Martin.

Default Carrera GT Sighting...

...on International Drive in Tysons. Fayence Yellow with German touring plates -- Euro Delivery maybe? I was stuck in traffic so I wasn't able to get a closer look but it looked and sounded great. It was the first time I saw one on the road.

Likely Kurt using his new “company car” to run over to Mc Master Carr (sic) for some HVAC fittings
