Yes, all the time, it actually gets a bit much at times.

Often verbal, or even just slack jaw stuff.. ie: "I love the look of your car... that colour is so sexy... is it a Jaguar, its beautiful etc. etc..

I would certainly think so...I have yet to even see one on the road and in our last trip to SF, I didn't see any...but I did see two Maserati's in the city.

I'm in SF....people are used to seeing exotics here and there in the city, so I don't get compliments per se, but people do rubberneck when I drive around.
Some hipsters pretend to ignore the car, but it's funny when I catch them looking in the side view mirror after I drive past
Out of consideration for the neighborhood, i leave the active exhaust off in the city but the sound is still catchy enough that I see folks looking around wondering where it's coming from!

I'm sure that must be a blast...can't wait to valet park mine when we visit there again once the car arrives!

I commute to Manhattan every day in mine and about every other day I have people come up to me at a stoplight to tell me how great the car is, and lots of folks snapping photos on their phones as I drive by. You will definitely be noticed!

Default More than GT3

I just got my coupe 3 weeks ago. It does get a lot more looks and comments than the Porsche GT3 I used to own. But the kind of ugly stares you might get driving a MacLaren or Lamborghini

Polaris White, pano roof, red duotone interior. Exactly the same colors/options that Jag uses in most of their media and marketing...what can I say, I'm not that original.

I have a 2012 997 Turbo S. One of the badest of the bad. I've had one compliment while driving it. A guy next to me at a stop light looks over and says, "nice car". That's in the last year and a half.

In the last month that I have had the F type, (Convertible), I have had numerous other drivers give me thumbs up or roll down their window and shout "cool car" or in two cases chase me down just to get along side and say the car was beautiful and want to know what it was.

So no doubt, Jaguar got it right with the F Type. No question there are things I don't like about it but the exterior is not one of them.
