Default F-Type coupe

I haven't seen any chatter about the coupe here, saw a pic in EVO at the airport...plenty online. Thoughts?

To my eye the rear 1/3 of the car comes together so much more beautifully than the convertible did.

Agreed. I am not a fan of open top motoring really - not for every day driving anyway. I would definitely prefer the Coupe. Question is, will they follow the Porsche pricing policy for Boxster/Cayman and charge more for it?!

Yup, looks like options list as long as your arm for additional costs as high as you want to go. I doubt the cope will cost more though as jaguar traditionally prices droops higher due to added costs.

Cayman is a special case because it is actually different to the Boxster and a better car for it.

That F Type coupe is a NICE car! If I didn't have and love my Z06 Corvette, I would buy a F Type coupe with the Supercharged V8.

Love the looks of the coupe, more so than the convertible. Feel the same way about the XK. Still not sold on the F type headlights. Need to see it in person. The car is more animated than an XK or any of the other Jags. New Boxster is animated also compared to the last car. I think the Jag is not overdone though. Again, really need to see the car in person, as photos can be deceiving. Hard to tell if the front grille looks like a snout. Overall, I think all the current Jags look beautiful and if there is any nitpicking to be done, it is minor and likely subjective. I was out in my XF today and looked back a number of times and could only say that Jag has this car beautifully tailored from a design perspective. F-type appears to be the same. How does it drive now?
