Default Re: VALE - The Jaguar F-Type

So true, glad I got to buy a new Territory at least (custom order too!)

Do I detect an almost-AU crease line under the windows there ;) It's a beaut car, congratulations. Keep it if you want to - you'll have the memories of it when you come back to it later, imagine showing to grandkids etc.

The suspension is solid! You're making me want a Jag - and put up with all the foibles and chaos. Do you know if they did the same 'no cost too high' suspension wise with the F-Pace?

Anyway, we must remind ourselves that Jag isn't dead, it's going to be reborn as something else, maybe that something will be very cool and true to the brand's main themes. We'll see.

The XE, XF, and F-Pace all shared the same platform and aluminum construction, likewise the Range Rover Velar. Even the front strut towers are cast aluminum and not stamped steel.

I also believe Jag modified the Ford/Volvo platform they currently still use in the E-Pace, Disco Sport and Evoque with JLR specific suspension arms ect.

Well I'll just have to buy one then, every surf beast I've had has rusted away so with this I can cast the finger to the elements. 3.0 Supercharged V6 and up the maintenance allowance each year.
