Your right, it's not in the same class, no luxury with the GT350, but it is still a great car. And 20 years down the road, it will have the highest resale value. I've seen an Orange one, and wow it really looks good it that color.
The Vantage is a true masterpiece of design by Henrik Fisker. It's hard to impossible to improve on it.

You don't have to. There's one right around the corner from you listed at MSRP. I was thinking about taking a look at it.
There are probably 10 more within 200 miles at MSRP.

Right around the corner? More like right around 1 left and 3 right corners. Only 2-3 minutes. Thanks for the heads up.

an you adopt me? Lol.. I too have the same spousal tolerance as Unhingd. I think my F-Type S was about the highest I can go at this time. I was originally looking at the R8, but couldn't get it into my allowance..Lol oh well.. Jag is sweet and good first car. (Always have had SUVs).

When I started to walk back to the Jag, the two salesmen that I had queried and a customer started grilling me as to why any sane person would think of trading in the F-Type for a GT350. "Not a chance, just interested in getting a closer look". They have another coming in at the end of next week.

Dropped by the dealer today. The car was bought Thursday, and picked up Friday.

Truth is, I wouldn't be happy without a convertible, and I've had at least one for 40 years. I'm also missing the MT more and more. I crossed-shopped the C7 very closely before purchasing the F-Type and was on the fence then. I'm going to take a look at this tomorrow. I feel myself possibly entering a Darth Vader phase . . .

It matches or betters the performance of the C6 Z06 w/ a better suspension, better transmission, and better tech.

Or I could have 80-120 more HP (V6S vs. base) and 130 ft/lbs more torque and be 400 lbs. lighter for $20-30K less. I found a local, fully-loaded, convertible, Z51 CPO (exactly as pictured above) for an advertised price of $56K, 4K miles and includes 2 yrs of free maintenance, bumper-to-bumper warranty until 6/2019, and powertrain warranty to 2021.
As happy as I am for you that you now have a properly functioning MT, I'm not convinced it's stout enough for spirited driving over the long-run.
