Default Motor Press Guild Invitational - 2016 F type world debut

Dear members, as I'm sure some of you know by now, some lucky Jaguarforums members have an exclusive invite to the Motor Press Guild Invitational on Wednesday 19th November.

This is where Jaguar will present the world debut of 2016 All-Wheel-Drive F-Type
please see attached document…


*Please note that this is an Exclusive invite only event*

The following members will be attending.

1.Tberg
2.Dsnyder586
3.Ralphwg

4.AJMarton

Said members will also be given an F type for the weekend to enjoy and evaluate, as provided very generously by Jaguar.

The guys are hopefully encouraged to post about their experience from start to finish here, in this thread.

We hope to be able to bring you details of the show, the experience and of course last but certainly not least, up to the minute information on the all new F type

Very psyched to be going- I just bought a new phone for the event, so I should be bringing photos and video back with me. I am entirely grateful for the opportunity to drive an F-Type and will share my thought about it with you all-

The Jaguar folks have been very friendly and accommodating, and I am looking forward to meeting and thanking them in person for this opportunity!

Let me know if there is anything specific any of you would like to hear about, I will do my best to communicate and photograph what you would like to see and hear.

Of course, thanks Jim et al, this is an incredible gift to myself and the forum.

Your lucky day Dave, I'd be playing the lotto if it were me....lol

A really exclusive opportunity, and one we're all hoping to share in as much as possible.

I won't tell you what I'd give fore the chance, but I just can't seem to catch a break...lol

Best
Jim

Thanks Dave! Here's my wishlist:
  • A detailed comprehensive enumeration of the differences from 2015 in the infotainment system for the 2016 F-Type Coupe.
  • US MSRP for each model in the 2016 F-Type range.
  • Initial ordering date for 2016 F-Types.
  • Any other F-Type Coupe changes for 2016, including any new specs, options, bundles, etc.
Thanks again and enjoy it!

Here it is Monday evening 11/17 and already in addition to me excitement I can't tell you how accommodating the Jaguar people have been to me. The story: My spouse and I have scheduled a week long trip taking the family to Ixtapa for a special celebration beginning 11/22. The children (adults now) and grandchildren will be returning home 11/29 and we will stay until 12/4.

Do to the trip I asked Jaguar if they could deliver the car to me early the morning of 11/20 and then pick it up late on 11/21. They made an alternative suggestion.............They will be delivering the F type to me on 12/5 and will pick it up on 12/8. Now that is what I call going out of the way to accommodate a guest!!!! WOW. Now, I am more excited than ever. I will be sure to keep you posted on my adventures.

Many thanks to Jaguar and Jim!

I think we'll be very lucky to get an all singing all dancing full on review, the best we can hope for is your opinions on the event / car, plus any all related info, plus many pictures, plus videos, plus video interviews with any Jag related personnel on behalf of JF

Thats all...lol
