Greetings karmiar. Should be doesn't necessarily translates into will be. Take design for instance. Some here - many here? - prefer the earlier design of the F-Type (I'm thinking side skirts, rear body-colored spoiler) to the later models. My point simply being - and going back to my earlier point, as well as my second - is the latest might not be the greatest and if one waited for it one might be waiting a very long time. To each his own! Bite the bullet and be thrilled.

1) glass rear window replaced plastic rear window.
2) 2.0L engine replaced by lower revving 2.2L engine.
3) drive by wire replaced cable throttle.
4) 17" wheels replace 16" wheels.
The features I personally like best are the glass rear window, 2.0L engine, cable throttle and 16" wheels. The only year that has this combination is 2003. So, I think 2003 was the pinnacle for S2000 production.
All that said, I think that I'm going to wait for the 2017 F-Type before I buy one.

Inline 6 for '17 was plan so I assume '17 will be later in year. The diesel and 4 from this series of engines are already in pipeline for XE but it appears F Pace gets our V6's so who knows. You can always wait till '18 to be sure or simply wait forever and never have to worry about missing something.

I'm also looking at ordering in Dec/Jan but if it turns out I'd be ordering a never before seen, and never before heard inline 6, I will not order.
I want the V6 because I know what it sounds like. And I want exactly that.

I have heard from Jaguar representatives that the V6 is in no danger of going away any time soon...

Definitely yes. BMW built their entire reputation on the various I6s, which have been used in all types of models with much shorter noses. If anything, it would free up a lot of space in the engine compartment.
