This car does not look like an XK-E. The XK-E was much more rounded and
sleek. The rear-quarter of these two cars is completely different in
styling, in particular.
The front looks more like an Aston-Martin than an E-type. That said it
is not a bad looking car at all. But, it is no XKE, that's for sure.
