Jaguar F-Type Targa Under Consideration

 

God that absolutely kills the roofline...this is actually much more interesting to look at:
Jaguar F-Type Shooting Brake is Beyond Sexy

 

I don't like that at all

 

I suspect the roofline of the Targa would be identical to that of the Coupe when the lid is on. I'd be willing to sacrifice the looks for those few times that I would want some open air cruising (the conv. doesn't have an adequate boot for roadtrips). I'd consider delaying taking delivery of a 6 sp Coupe if a rollout of the Targa was confirmed.


I'm personally not a fan of the sporty station wagon (shooting brake) look.


I guess to each her/his own.

 

I think that shooting brake looks awesome!

 

Say no to the shooting brake...

 

Not a fan of either one of those. Why screw with perfection?

 

Prefer glass top.

 

+1. Plus you get interior space which is a big thing with XKR owners. Will make the F-type more convenient for daily use and taking to the golf course. Similar to a Porsche FF.

 

I love the shooting brake design--my kind of "SUV/SAV."

 

Not a fan of the Targa. Shooting Brake is interesting though.

 

Not only do I concur with you on this, but I do believe that all this fiddling around - and the multitude of [new] configurations - is fast approaching the law of diminishing returns (and/or customers).

IMO

 

Probably true that they wouldn't sell many of the shooting brake version, but I can personally guarantee they would sell at least 1!

 

You can probably make that 2! I really like the rendering. Reminds me of the FF.

 

The targa doesn't suit my taste, but I'm a huge fan of Jaguar doing these variants, because they are very cheap investments that amortize the R&D cost of the platform, are very easy for the dealership network to service, extend the personality of the lineup without diluting the brand, and help preserve a sense of scarcity for each model.

It's harder for owners to feel exclusivity when there are only coupes or convertibles on the road. Offering more variants spreads out ownership among more models, preserving scarcity.

forget the Targa...give me a T-Top

 

Needs more design changes but could be another model like what Porsche does. Works on Corvette.

 

I had T-tops on several "80's Z cars, always liked the feature.
