.. I will not like the BMW motor, I never liked BMW even as I am from Europe. But also (If it confirms) I will not like the new head lights, as it looks like a bad copy of the Audi TT. ..This is a bad thing to transform a Europe car into a far eastern car, no understanding if it will be confirmed on 02/12.
Like you I never liked BMW as it was a posers car. Now this role is taken by Audi. But WW2 has ended a long time ago, some time you have to let that go. The perpetraders are almost all deceased now.
For the headlights, I imagined it would be horrible, but with the changed grille it gives a more 'family face' like the F-Pace. And its a logical consequence of LED technology. In a few years cars will no longer have windows,
but camera's outside and screens inside, you will see [ unless you are 70yrs or over, then you will probably not be around anymore when it arrives].
It does look like 'chinese' , but they are the powerhouse economy. Just look at the turn Mercedes did in its styling ; 'Made in China' would not seem unrealistic.

Sadly, no. We'll have to wait for the official launch to see the interior.
The camo photos on the Autocar web site (taken in the UK) show the central bar and those cars must have the new bumpers as they have the new lights, so maybe the bar is added for EU markets? They could easily mount to the bottom of the grille, or maybe directly on it like the AM photo?

You can see what it will look like from the screensaver renders they provided with the latest InControl Touch Pro update from a couple of weeks ago. They are in the p8 disk image file. I won't post them all here as they are quite large images, so here are just a few that show the exterior changes:

From xdave's pictures, I prefer the look of mine and previous models, the front looks like a Tesla, and the look of them rear lights isn't right, flat angles, no
Being a 2.0 owner and sometimes shunned in the F-type community for the engine, not on this forum by the way but a least it has a jaguar built engine, not sure how I would feel about the BMW influence, it would be, "sure that's a BMW now, hasn't it a BMW engine in it",

Together with this, other problems awaid Jaguar. They still plan to resume production over Brexit and one week min.
So should be about 12000 cars what could lead to shortage. For the expected design, I dont find it a good idea to
upgrade a round form car with angular parts in front and behind, without reshaping the rest of the body frame. What I
also dont like are the redesigned vent holes on front side. On the 2017 facelift they became larger and with 1 horizontal
bar instead of the 2 vertical. If the pictures from the 2021 is right, they again became smaller and with some black
Dacia like insert. I really see no reason for such black frame on this place. I already bought my R in Santorini Black to
not have this contrast on the rear side.

Supposed to be 20.00 GMT. Must admit to being a bit disappointed with the very light touch on the interior. Hasn't even got the latest steering wheel.
