The F-type thread

I do not see why a six/seven speed manual should not be put in a car like that - it's not a GT after all.

Six is more than enough. What is more important is that it has the right feel, better than that of the MX-5.

Seriosuly. Everyone's just going to stop paying attention if all they ever show is camo'd up ones
 
That's a Nissan 350Z front attached to an S2k body with the roof of a viper. I love renders :p

That's actually a C-X16 concept with a convertible top photoshopped on, not your typical mashup render.
 
^ It'll drive f'ing awesome; its a Jag after all... :lol: Agree with you on the looks though. Two front scoops looks a bit iffy; like gills only this shouldn't really be underwater.
 
Yeah the gills are a bit much, and also the grille opening could be smaller, like if the section above the black bar was actually the whole grille, that would look better and more Jaguar-like I think

Also needs to be BRG
 
I think it looks great. They came a bit close to giving it a smiley face grille, but held back enough to make it look alright. Classy enough to be a Jag, but with enough vents and hard edges to make it aggressive and modern. I definitely prefer it over the XK.
 
This is superb, they have basically kept all of the C-X16's design, only taken the roof off to make a roadster... In my opinion definitely the best looking Jag since the E-type, congrats Callum... :) Now the only thing missing would be giving it it's roof back...

Oh, so you've driven both then?

For me the lack of a manual is an automatic turnoff.


edit: morning me may have misunderstood? Are you saying that it has the right feel or that you're hoping it will?

Looks like a Maserati GranCabrio fucked an S2000.

As for the result? Me gusta.
 
It?s quite strange seeing a Jag so small and sporty looking. But that does not have to be a bad thing, just shows that Jaguar is ready to try something new (new for them at least).

I think the whole car has a lot of character wich is essential in this part of the market - people don?t buy that sort of car with their head, but with their gut. But saying it has character also means that I don?t think it?s good looking enough. I think the BMW Z4 or Merc SLK are better looking. A lot. Don?t get me wrong, it?s not a bad looking thing either ... but not quite on par with it?s main rivals.
 
Couldn't disagree more. To me it looks extremely well proportioned.

And I don't care if it's automatic. It is a Jaaaaag, y'know.
