Smile Thinking of Buying F Coupe, ?? on features

Hi, folks.... I currently own a BMW 535diesel, GREAT car, not getting rid of...BUT, am thinking about buying an F type, probably S coupe.

Do you think they'll offer either of the following or both this coming model year?

Adaptive Cruise Control (e.g. Dynamic, Radar, etc)
Head Up Display?

THANKS!!!!

No idea but I know that Jaguar has been promoting the heads up display on the upcoming XE. So I would expect it to make it to other models. But the XE is still way out (think 2016!!)

Do other Jag models have adaptive cruise? If they do, that would tip it to getting on the F-Type.

Kind of funny--those are the two things I miss from my BMW 650.
I don't think they'll offer these options until the 2016/2017 time frame, if then.

I remember driving from Phoenix to Tuscon a few years ago. The road is completely straight for a looong way at one point, and then there's a gentle bend to the left.

There were a large number of wheel tracks of varying sizes that went straight on, with no signs of skidding or brake lock-ups.

Momentary distraction is one cause of accidents, but another appears to be forgetting that you actually have to drive your vehicle...

I switched from a 2012 BMW 535i and the HUD was one of my favorite features in that car. I really thought I would have a problem without it on the F-Type, but it has not been an issue for me. Perhaps it is because I sit a little lower in the F-Type and the digital display for speed and the turn-by-turn navigation screens are more in my line of sight than they were in the BMW. I do hope Jaguar offers this option in the future.
