I vastly prefer the original exterior styling (nose and all) to the SVR. I fear JLR is heading down the ill-advised "gimmicky" design road common to many manufacturers. All too often, an original, beautiful, classic design gets screwed up by efforts to tweak things up and differentiate subsequent model years.
Agreed (and I don't like the diamond patterned seats either)....all I want is a Project 7 grill and I'll consider my car aesthetically perfect....well, perfect for a roadster, the coupe IS prettier. It hurts a teensy bit to concede that though I still prefer a drop-top. Still, credit where credit is due and all that.

LOL . . . call me contrarian, but to my eyes, the roadster is more attractive. I had no interest in the coupe. I feel exactly the same about the E-Types, as well as almost any other car offered in both coupe and convertible.
The SVR reminds me of what GM did to the C7, lots of edges and ugly. I like the flowing lines of the standard F-Type better, just as I preferred the C6.

Okay guys, this should provide more fodder for you to bash away at the interior, rear wing, weight and everything else the SVR offers (it's very entertaining!)

"Bashing" aside, and regardless of whether you agree or not, JLR should be at least somewhat concerned that the reaction to the SVR has not been very positive on an F-Type forum where people have been overwhelming positive about the car from it's introduction and positive about owning one. The automotive press has also universally praised the F-Type, but the latest iteration doesn't seem to be generating much enthusiasm.
I think JLR is smarter than that. Reading through all of the replies, I get the very clear impression that people who are genuinely interested in the SVR (and there are plenty) aren't necessarily participating in this "SVR Forum". It's dominated by people who want to air their displeasure about some aspect of the car...

You're new here, and you're also dead wrong about the part in bold. The majority in this thread is overwhelmingly enthusiastic about the F-Type, but doesn't like the direction the SVR represents. I couldn't possibly be happier with mine.
