Can anyone get the configurator to work with wheels and exterior colors, etc.? Every time I click those it freezes.

 

working fine for me

 

I'd like to say your right but holy smoke I don't think so...despite being amazing cars with great reliability only we the faithful get it... Average car buyers who don't do their research still roll the value and as far as I can see depreciation is inevitable ((

 

Not only is that true for, well, everything but not everything "new" has to be "improved". If one had to have the latest and greatest - unless one had unlimited resources (which most do not..I said most, not all) - many would never pull the trigger and...ultimately...lose out.

Something like that.

 

The concept worked splendidly and was wonderfully well-executed.

I don't think there's one marque which doesn't display or suggest "unsafe driving" and why they usually have, in the smallest or faintest of print:

"Professional driver on a closed course". That or "Do Not Attempt" (and usually over the stupidest of stunts).

I sorely miss the "real villians" ads!

 

Right, just not nearly as clever!

 

I can't believe that they are DROPPING the RWD F-Type R's....



This is crazy...just crazy...

Thank-you Jaguar for the AWD version, thank-you for the manual, but are you NUTS???? The RWD with 550hp was what everyone raved about...

I don't get this logic at all...

 

We'll see how many manuals are really sold. Ferrari is done with them going forward. I bet the car sitting on the lot will be a manual. Porsche resales with manuals are always way cheaper.

 

Don't miss AWD on my S but did miss it big time on SLK55. My Audi's seemed to do it best, you never noticed it. On Maserati it is "active" so not always on, could have done without it.

 

You may be right!

My take is that we all love a manual for a sporty drive, it gives real drivers feel to the experience especially when giving it some.

Having said that, there's a lot to be said for a good auto, maybe with paddle shifters that can react to the very quick changes needed at speed

 

As much as I love a stick - like the one I have on my wife's 6-speed BMW 325 XI Wagon - I LOVE the paddle shifters (and think they work beautifully) on my F-Type V6S.

 

I too love a manual, always had one up to just recently.

My point is on super powerful cars like the F type and others in the bracket, the 0 - 60 times and acceleration is just so quick, that a manual can mean much gear crunching and missed gear changes.

Even F1 drivers have a paddle shift system and these guys are professionals

 

Looks like they are retiring the stratus grey color. See page 66 of the 2016 brochure:

Lunar grey is gone. The two new grey variants -- Ammonite and Storm -- look nice.
I always thought stratus was too dark and lunar too light....looks like they may have gotten it "right" with the new palette.

 

The fixed spoiler looks horrible!

 

100% agree with you on the grey's,I would need to see Ammonite in person but I like it from what I've seen.

From a design standpoint,I HATE the body-colored lower sills...that would be the first thing I'd need to paint black if I had a '16 so equipped...makes the car look fat and bloated...especially in Polaris White!

SO glad I have a '15 base car auto w/switchable exhaust because you can't order them like that anymore,lol!

 

Is that an official Jaguar photo or just some Internet rendering? Yes, it looks horrible. I only see two viable options for the Coupe spoiler:

1. Crazy GT racing inspired, huge carbon fiber wing. Still ugly, but purposeful and what every other car does when racing.

2. Some type of Panamera pop-out wing. Keeps the sleek lines, then popups and transform itself into futuristic spoiler.

#2 is what I'm hoping for eventually

 

I pulled the pic directly from the UK brochure

I have mix feelings on the body colored thing. I think some contrast is nice, like along the side rockers. But I think on the rear diffuser it looks pretty cool to have it match the body color instead of being a huge plastic piece.

 

The UK Configurator shows RWD and AWD options for both the V6S and the V8R. Base prices are £5-6k higher for the AWD variants of the Coupe.

 

While the choice of color is always subjective (i.e. personal preference) and never wrong - especially coming from the owner of a Stratus Grey Coupe - that fixed spoiler, if true, is really pretty ugly IN MY OPINION (and I'll bet plenty of others).
