Are there any out here yet? Hornburg in Santa Monica says end of April but, he didn't sound very sure about the date.

 

I spoke to my dealer in NJ today and he said late May. He also told me that they had an allocation for 15 and 12 were sold (ordered). An order he placed yesterday shows that the car will be in mid June.

 

Monterey Jaguar says around mid-May, but that their first few shipments already have deposits on them.

 

I just bought mine Saturday so need to go into their system and change the configuration of one of their allocated FP's I would love to have mine in mid May. But then again next week would be awesome

 

My Vista order says I'll get my First Edition on April 20. I live in PA, but I'm getting mine in Caesium Blue.

 

The use of the word "Vista" order is that Jaguars way of saying "Production and Delivery"?

It is interesting that on the Jaguar US web site you cannot choose a color other that the one shown, but in the 100 page catalog/brochure I picked up at the dealership Saturday it shows many colors but no Caesium Blue. I was told that some of the catalog pages showing the interiors were not available in the US. You would figure it would be a US only catalog.

 

Vista is Jaguar's ordering system. Originally, my First Edition was coming in the Rhodium Silver, the only available exterior color in the US configurator. But after pressing my dealer hard, they contacted Jaguar and were able to get it changed to Caesium Blue, and I received a revised Vista order with the Caesium Blue color listed. My proof. Turned out it wasn't that difficult to get the Caesium Blue color, but only if you ordered a First Edition.

 

Our first ordered F Pace models are set to land at our dealership in Farmington Hills, MI the first week of May, with the XE set to arrive 2 weeks after. ( Fingers crossed

 

Does that include only F-Pace FE models or will non-FEs show up alongside FEs?

 

I received mine on Friday, May 13. I have the First Edition. It's the only one on the road in San Diego I was told.

 

Monterey Jaguar has two F-Paces in stock right now. A R-Sport and a First Edition. I don't think the First Edition is prepped for test drives, but the R-Sport is, and my wife and I were actually the first ones to take it for a test drive last Saturday. Fantastic vehicle! We had been shopping for a sporty SUV for a while and had narrowed it down to the BMW X5, the Porsche Macan, and possibly the Audi SQ5, although we could never find one locally for a test drive.

After driving everything we possibly could, we finally were able to drive the F-Pace and we were immediately sold on it. It has a great balance between ride, handling, acceleration, and cargo capacity. We have one on order and we are very excited; it will be the S model in Italian Racing Red, with the Red/Jet interior. All options except the "Luxury Package", since we couldn't justify the extra money for 4-zone climate control, mood lighting, lighted sill plates, and the locked/cooled glove box (which already gets cool air from the A/C).

Now...we wait.

 

There are at least 2 burning gas in MI. A BRG 3.0 now owned by a supercity guy with many sports cars behind him. He was very surprised (in a good way) by the acceleration; )

The other, a 3.0 R-Sport in U.Black/Jet with black wheels, now being driven by a very sweet women.

We have a very nice Silver 380 hp S model that came on unspoken. It's almost overkill with the 340 hp versions being so fast. It completely matched the smaller Macan at the NOLA racetrack. The 380 hp was faster. I could have passed the Porsche many times if it wouldn't have gotten me thrown off. The adaptive suspension is a much have option.

Cheers to all these fresh Jag owners.

 

Some photos from New Orleans.




Really looks great in Italian Racing Red.im not a SUV guy but the F Pace isnt like any SUV ive ever driven before. Or looked so damn good!






Great lines. Light plays beautifully on the body




Watching a F Pace pulling away while chasing it in ...jeesh...l can't remember if i was in a Macan or X4. The BMW just blew! Gutless with terrible body roll. The Macan was hot. I was so proud of the larger F Pace being able to match it in track performance and handling precision. Both sounded great but the Jag seemed a little louder

 

I have my Vin number. Can I actually track this on my own somehow with this Vin?
Thanks

 

Copying over from the F-Pace forum:

1. Click here and enter the VIN in the Cargo ID search box. Then hit "Track". This will give you specific ETA for leaving/arriving at port. It will also give you the name of the vessel carrying your car.

2. Click here and enter the name of the vessel in the search box on the left side of the screen. Vessels are only tracked within a couple hundred miles of the coast, so it won't work for vessels in the middle of the Atlantic.

 

This post was exactly what I was looking for. THANKS!. It shows my car to arrive in US on Tuesday, and saw exactly where the ship is in the Atlantic as of yesterday. Very helpful!!!

The value of the forum at it's best!

 

I have had so much "FUN" tracking my car shipment from the UK, that I can't thank you enough for the thread enabling this for me. It is so useful that I am copying and pasting it into a "new thread" for all of those who are ordering a car and have the vin number and wish to do so also. Very helpful, and a true value added to me. My F-Type is en route to Baltimore, and due into port in 2 hours. From this point, who knows....but I know where the buggy is now :-)! Thanks a million.
