Agreed. One thing I noticed immediately between my XKR and the Cayman is the leather interior.

The XKR leather is superior to that of the Cayman. After cleaning and re-conditioning the leather in both cars with the Lexol product, I literally slide into the Jaguar seats. They are so soft and so comfortable, while the leather in the Cayman appears to be harder and stiffer. May be a difference because of age, as the XKR is a 2009 and the Porsche 981 is a 2014.

Jaguar leather is awesome.

As a convertible, the F-Type's rear and profile are somewhat bland. As a coupe, it all comes together. To me the coupe is gorgeous, and has me considering the F-Type again.
