Do You Turn Around ?

Do You Turn Around ?
Perhaps I should have asked, " How many times do you turn around.?"
Okay you park your F-Type far back in the parking lot, lock it up and start your journey to the store. During that trek how many times do you turn and take another adorning look ?
I have a 2020 F-Type R and find myself looking back several times. Hell when it's parked in the garage I must take a peek 4 to 5 times. I'll find myself unable to keep it under my breath when I declare, "What a Beauty."

and every Jaguar owner does this...there is something about a Jaguar which no other marque can duplicate -they are and have always been much more than machines; they are, as Wm Lyons described, close to something alive. There is a "feel good" factor in simply opening the door and getting in. Is it the leather, chrome, wood if the model has it? Other cars have leather chrome and wood, but it is the way these things are combined, the refined aesthetic values that make everythng just look and feel right.
A very simple example: where does Jaguar place the touch screen? It is integrated into the design of the cockpit, not stuck on top, not in your face like an I-pad that the designer forgot about until the last minute...(see Mercedes, Audi, Mazda....). Yes, the technology is not the latest, but they are automobiles, not computers, not iPads....
Look at a 1980 Series III Jaguar XJ...(and by the way the Series III body was built to the very end if 1992) it is still heart-stirringly beautiful with every line perfectly sculpted and integrated, as smooth as the inside of Faye Dunaway's satin dressing gown...(that's from a contemporary review - was it in Road and Track?). In comparison, look at a 1980 Mercedes S class....clunky and awkward and old and frumpy.
Yes, Jaguars (and every other marque) have certain shortcomings. But given a choice, I will always choose and have chosen the enduring elegance, the integrity of line and performance of a Jaguar over its rivals.
The F-Type continues the tradition, and whenever I park mine I look back at it, and returning to the car I usually try to approach from the other side of the street to see it better...and I spend a lot of time in the garage looking at it from every angle...it never gets old.
