I am afraid I am not the only one. Funnily enough they had made the same 
mistake a few years earlier with the Jaguar MkI which was hastily 
superseded by the MkII. Although in a different league the Italians did

and its then already old but rather advanced and beautiful engine. The 
styling was an acquired taste that the yanks loved.
