Default Holding on to your beautiful F Type car

After watching this video, it only convinced me more to keep my Jaguar F-Type R sports car. Because the car is beautiful.. unfortunately automotive beauty is becoming rare. Very rare!

Yes indeed…looking at current BMWs gives me sudden nausea…looking at my F-Type gives me instant joy.

My plan is to hold onto mine until I'm too old to drive, then move it into my living room.

I think I'll get buried in my 911. I'd hate to do that to the F-Type.

100% keeping my F-Type.

And my 13 yr-old thinks the Cybertruck is amazing. My thoughts on the Cybertruck: 🤮

Maybe we’re just old farts?

My last year 2024 F-Type will always be a classic so I'm holding onto till I can't drive it anymore.

BMW (and VAG) should never have employed visually impaired designers. I'm all for DEI, but there have to be limits.

Pretty good and interesting video. Given how big a market China is it's kind of understandable but still pathetic how desperately they try to adapt to what they think the Chinese market wants while the Chinese care less and less about these brands because they are realizing that European "luxury" products are just BS and now have much more appealing domestically produced cars.

BMW is the most shocking example but in all fairness their design has been going downhill as long as since the Bangle era 20+ years ago before this whole mess with environmental requirements and the Chinese market.

The new cars are getting bigger and more angular, which I don't like either.

I love the lines of our F-Type.
