How many of you would really buy F-Pace?

You have to hang out on the F-Pace-only forum instead of this all-Jaguar forum, if you are really interested in the F-Pace. That's where I found out that not only was it possible but how to do it. The sales reps are usually the last to find out. You have to educate your sales rep/dealer. I will say, it might be too late for you. My understanding is the allocations for the FE are filled (and Caesium Blue is available only for the FE) but I could be wrong on that one. Perhaps you can locate a dealer that hasn't filled its FE allocation.

Yup. Nothing about it in the brochure. Nothing on the configuration site. But a few of us here in the US have gotten our FE orders changed to Caesium Blue. The change is now on my Vista order sheet. I made my original order back in September when dealers were telling people they were not yet accepting orders and hadn't receive any information from Jaguar about the car. Fortunately, my sales rep was willing to investigate the F-Pace instead of trying to sell me a different Jaguar model (okay, she tried for five minutes). But I have no interest in another Jaguar other than the F-Pace and (sigh, hopefully one day) the F-Type R. I'd find out information from the F-Pace forum that she didn't have and send it to her almost every day. I'm first line for an F-Pace at that dealership and hold the order for their only allocation for a First Edition.

Saw my first one on the road today near Glasgow, in blue.
To me it is a good enough looking car, but does not look like a Jaguar, the same goes for the XE and new XF, very much styled like any other car.
So no, I very much doubt I would buy one, the only new Jag that interests me is the new XJ or F-Type (which I am obsessed with!).

I am a sedan guy and always wondered about this American fad for 'taller' cars and crossovers. Why? Is it because you perceive (falsely) more safety sitting higher up? Or do you need its higher ground clearance (some negligible) for occasional off-roading? I have no desire of ever owning such a vehicle myself.

Having spent many years on different forums it's unfortunate that you would prefer to spend your time on a forum and express your opinion of disdain on a vehicle that many people enjoy. I think your time and opinions would be better spent on a forum for sedans so you can praise their worthiness or lack thereof.

BUT my main gripe is with the drivers of such vehicles, where the 'better command of the road' gives them license to drive like idiots.
Yes I am mainly active in the sedan forums but I started this thread because I seriously doubted the F-Pace would survive the competition despite its good looks (sadly Jaguar will forever be haunted by its Lucas 'lord of darkness' past).

The Evoque is definitely an interesting vehicle as I am sure the F Pace will be but back to what Wolfy commented. I don't have a clue what generation you are from but the SUV, CUV, Station Wagon has probably been around longer than both of us. It is not a phenomenon or something that just recently crept into our lives. Over the years it has served as a great u-haul for whatever our needs have been or will be. As far as survive-ability in the Jaguar line I think it will do just fine as long as it shares some of it components with the J and LR line. Do you think Jaguar sells a lot of cars to start. In comparison Porsche is a much larger company. Each have their niche buyers.
And by the way here is an early SUV - Station Wagon or whatever you want to call it.
1935 Jensen Woodie
