It really was a fun car - especially with the muffler sawed off. Ford V4 motor - very reliable.

I actually ran across one the other day in Milwaukie OR and had to stop. A very nice yellow 1971 like the one I had.

Here I was out of my CTS-V lusting over a <$5k car. The heart wants what the heart wants LOL.

 

while I agree that in many cases the original is the more "pure" design, so far most of the F type changes haven't been unduly negative IMO. we'll see if that holds.

as far as articles go, the one posted is the worst out of all I've seen; I don't think the reviewer is much of a driver which doesn't help.....and the MB doesn't hold a candle to the F type as far as styling goes.

2 cents,

I agree - except for the interior. I love the over the top Lambo-like switches, vents, dials, and toys of the GT. Plus I miss the Hummer H1 like wide center console divide that says 'no I am not going to hold your stupid hand while I am driving.'

I do applaud the GT/S's not having running boards though (like the first video shows). Mercedes could have easily put tacky non-functional running boards on the GT.

A GTS will be a nice car on the radar four years from now when the warranty is up and the depreciation has hit the 50% mark. Nothing drops harder than an AMG at warranty end.

 

LOL I feel dumb, first time I saw an F Type up close was back in February when I bought my Autobiography, I assume it was a 2016 car and I was unaware that there were any design changes from prior years. My car is a 2017 and black so it looks a bit subdued when compared to the lighter and brighter colored cars.

 

Yep - black means the diffuser being painted is a non issue and the running boards and front goatee are not very noticeable LOL.

I like white, so not so much - running boards look worse on light colored F-Types.

Your black 2017 is sweet + AWD mean less trips to the tire shop. Please do consult with me before making any future automotive purchases though - .

 

I must say that I was rather qurious to what JLR would do with the coming/upgraded models of the F-type when I bought my 2015 R last year.

I think the changes done are rather subtle (at least so far), but still like the clean look of the 2015 best.
