Agreed.

 

+2.

 

Let's be honest, the front nose bumper is more aggressive. But that's all I like about the svr vehicle

 

I would say both uglier and more aggressive, and I really don't care for it.

 

Agreed (and I don't like the diamond patterned seats either)....all I want is a Project 7 grill and I'll consider my car aesthetically perfect....well, perfect for a roadster, the coupe IS prettier. It hurts a teensy bit to concede that though I still prefer a drop-top. Still, credit where credit is due and all that.

+1. The standard nose minus the bumper bar would be my choice.

 

LOL . . . call me contrarian, but to my eyes, the roadster is more attractive. I had no interest in the coupe. I feel exactly the same about the E-Types, as well as almost any other car offered in both coupe and convertible.

 

+1. Very happy with the "true" original, and the SVR has only strenghten my believe that the R I have is a "keeper".

 

The SVR reminds me of what GM did to the C7, lots of edges and ugly. I like the flowing lines of the standard F-Type better, just as I preferred the C6.

The SVR needs to drop about 250 lbs of weight and add about 50-60 HP.

 

It has plenty of HP. In order to be taken seriously as a 911 competitor on a race track, it should've dropped about 500 lbs.

 

^+1

 

Rear diffuser has way too much going on. Too fussy, too many crevices, angles, and a washing nightmare.

 

Anyone care to speculate on how many will sell in the USA per year?

 

I am waiting for the F-Types to come down in price, but wow is the SVR something special... just came across a good article with some nice photos - Jaguar F-Type SVR: Most Powerful Production Jag Ever

 

Photos are project 7 not SVR.

 

For those who are actually interested in the SVR, here's a few more pictures of the SVR at the Geneva Car show:

Okay guys, this should provide more fodder for you to bash away at the interior, rear wing, weight and everything else the SVR offers (it's very entertaining!)

 

"Bashing" aside, and regardless of whether you agree or not, JLR should be at least somewhat concerned that the reaction to the SVR has not been very positive on an F-Type forum where people have been overwhelming positive about the car from it's introduction and positive about owning one. The automotive press has also universally praised the F-Type, but the latest iteration doesn't seem to be generating much enthusiasm.

 

I think JLR is smarter than that. Reading through all of the replies, I get the very clear impression that people who are genuinely interested in the SVR (and there are plenty) aren't necessarily participating in this "SVR Forum". It's dominated by people who want to air their displeasure about some aspect of the car...

 

You're new here, and you're also dead wrong about the part in bold. The majority in this thread is overwhelmingly enthusiastic about the F-Type, but doesn't like the direction the SVR represents. I couldn't possibly be happier with mine.
