Perhaps I should have asked, " How many times do you turn around.?"
Okay you park your F-Type far back in the parking lot, lock it up and start your journey to the store. During that trek how many times do you turn and take another adorning look ?
I have a 2020 F-Type R and find myself looking back several times. Hell when it's parked in the garage I must take a peek 4 to 5 times. I'll find myself unable to keep it under my breath when I declare, "What a Beauty."

 

Looking at Jaguars is involuntary and mandatory! Mine is kept on my drive so I can see it from my window ....

 

The saying goes, "If you don't look back at your car after you park it, you bought the wrong car!"

 

I have swapped cars with my GF a couple times just to see mine going down the road 😂
Luckily her daily driver is a SS and she can out drive most normal folks 👍

 

I only noticed this the other day, but when I come to my car I take the long way to the driver's door (i.e. walk around the car) to get more of a look and the same when I leave it. And I have owned the car for 4 years now...

 

^THIS +1!

 

Jaguar lines have been admired for 5 decades.....never stops!

 

Did it with my E Type, do it with my F Type....never gets old.

 

and every Jaguar owner does this...there is something about a Jaguar which no other marque can duplicate -they are and have always been much more than machines; they are, as Wm Lyons described, close to something alive. There is a "feel good" factor in simply opening the door and getting in. Is it the leather, chrome, wood if the model has it? Other cars have leather chrome and wood, but it is the way these things are combined, the refined aesthetic values that make everythng just look and feel right.

A very simple example: where does Jaguar place the touch screen? It is integrated into the design of the cockpit, not stuck on top, not in your face like an I-pad that the designer forgot about until the last minute...(see Mercedes, Audi, Mazda....). Yes, the technology is not the latest, but they are automobiles, not computers, not iPads....
Look at a 1980 Series III Jaguar XJ...(and by the way the Series III body was built to the very end if 1992) it is still heart-stirringly beautiful with every line perfectly sculpted and integrated, as smooth as the inside of Faye Dunaway's satin dressing gown...(that's from a contemporary review - was it in Road and Track?). In comparison, look at a 1980 Mercedes S class....clunky and awkward and old and frumpy.

Yes, Jaguars (and every other marque) have certain shortcomings. But given a choice, I will always choose and have chosen the enduring elegance, the integrity of line and performance of a Jaguar over its rivals.
The F-Type continues the tradition, and whenever I park mine I look back at it, and returning to the car I usually try to approach from the other side of the street to see it better...and I spend a lot of time in the garage looking at it from every angle...it never gets old.

 

I've swapped GF's a couple times to test how they all drive...
But my wife put a stop to that real quick!!!

 

I am out of the country for work right now, but fortunately I have the best wife. When I FaceTime her, she takes me in the garage so I can see my car. She understands and admits that she often looks back at her F Pace S when she parks.

 

Lol, my ex wife had the same issues and also hated driving any of my cars.
She is definitely a keeper 👌

 

Every time. I always look back.

 

Yeah, she really is!

 

Sometimes you don’t even have to turn around to look..........

 

I'd call the guy behind you and ask how she looks from the back. First time my wife drove it, I went out to watch her drive off, she caught me and gave me hell about it later.

 

I was the guy in back. Looks fine.

 

Nice!

 

I have had Jags for some time now and would describe mine as rolling art. Retarded how many times per day I have to look at them.

 

I understand that. Hell, I got a folder on my desktop with pictures of my car that I look at all the time. On a side note, I'm originally from northern Wisconsin. A little farther north than you.
