I am starting to see at least 1 F-Pace a week now. Just today I saw a silver one with black rims. I don't get the black rim fad but it's a good looking SUV nonetheless. I just bought a RX400h but plan to trade it for a CPO FP S in a few years.
Well, it seems that the availability of the units for sale has exceeded the hype of limited vehicles for sale. Check out the web sites of the large dealerships, such as Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Newport Beach, L.A., etc. There you'll find a lot of unties in inventory for sale. I certainly hope that Jaguar can keep up with the few quality issues that have surfaced. After all, it is a first generation product. I don't think the few problems we've heard about qualify the F-Pace as a "lemon"! Hopefully, some of the hoop-la dies down sufficiently for a legitimate deal to be made. If that's possible, I'm a buyer! I would expect that very soon there will be inventory to choose from that will allow a potential buyer to find what he's looking fro without needing to wait for a couple of months until it's a special order and a 3 month wait.
Still not seeing them here in Pittsburgh. I saw one at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix in July that was on display, but don't count that. And there is one (ONE) at my local Jaguar dealer. Other than that, I saw one in NYC in September. That is it. I assumed they were not really importing them yet? There is no inventory at dealerships.
The F pace is on my short-list as the long overdue replacement for my Jeep Commander Limited sometime in 2017 and I think my dad wants to buy one as well. So there may be at least a couple prowling around here next year.
I had the pleasure of coming up behind one as I pulled onto the DVP while driving the FE last week. IRR R-Sport. It looked sensational. Followed for bit in order to get a good look and then passed as I was in a hurry.
But I can still count on one hand the number of encounters in the wild.
My local dealer (Jaguar of Brentwood TN) has several. It's a good looking SUV. Definitely has my interest, although I am hoping to see the V8 available next year.
Despite being the sales leader, there were still only a tick over 10,000 F-PACE's sold in the US this year.
I saw a blue S the other day on Farview Ave. Proud to see lots of new Jags in Bergen/Essex/Passaic counties, though I heard Prestige just sold their JLR dealership in Paramus to Penske.
A pro and a con to not seeing many. Pro - uniqueness; Con - not getting the volume recognition it deserves. Jaguar is working their way out of some issues, and as soon as they are done (software flashes etc.); I believe they will sell a lot more units, and the uniqueness will subside a bit....Good thing for the brand and all of us in the long run.
F-Pace is now the top-selling Jaguar model. Problem with the US is it's a very big place and until recently, the number of Jaguar dealers was not very large. Of course this reflected the sales performance and reputation of Jaguar over the decades.
Jaguar are going to have to increase their dealership numbers if they want to double sales, (as is their aim). So expect to see more dealerships around the country, and new ones where there has never been a Jaguar dealer.
I saw a Green S with 22" wheels at the Car Wash last weekend in Denver. It looked sharp and now there will be a new Italian Red S driving around sometime next week
Never seen one on the Road here is Brisbane (AU) yet..... but seen 6 or more in the local Dealers showroom. Mind you, they have only been available in Australia for last few months - as MY17
