That sucks. Maybe they'll something the in V6 that will be more competitive for a hot XE?

Yeah, I just took my missus' into the hills on the weekend, it is just an awesome car for the twisties.

But I wonder if Jag figure an XE SVR would cost about the same as the iPace but the iPace would be about as quick and have something for the current SUV obsessed market? Personally I'd rather the XE, but I could see myself in the iPace eventually

If they are not planning to release a SVR version it's really a shame that there still isn't an option for an active valve exhaust for the S.

I'm pretty sure that this option would drastically increase sales, at least in Germany. The people here rather buy a CLA45 or C43 AMG for nearly the same price and I'm positive that for a lot of people the active valve exhaust is the reason aside from a few other things of course.

We starting to receive "get out of your lease early into a new one" emails from Jaguar. Maybe end of year we'll see what's new in the JLR portfolio if they'll cut us a deal to move into a new car. We like the Evoque Convertible, Velar, iPace, and who knows??? She is not big on the FPace at the moment. I think that one comes down to how well it's optioned. Looks kind of budget in its lowest spec.

Yeah, though the F Pace is nowhere near as good as the XE to drive.
