Jaguar F-Type Has Officially Arrived What Do XF Owners Think ?

Looks fantastic, good to see Jag venture into a smaller vehicle segment. Love the styling...front may be a bit busy but overall the styling is excellent and love the muscular look of the sides. I hate analogies on a design like this but there's some Z8 in the rear.
Oddly...the only thing that looks out of place is the steering wheel...doens't seem right.

Looks like the steering wheel's center may be several centimeters above the axis of rotation. I think I would hate that. Hope I'm wrong. If I'm right you won't be able to let the wheel slip through your hands as you accelerate out of a turn without moving them to follow the path of the wheel.
I have a Logitech G27 wheel for racing games, and it has a little offset like that. The one on the F-Type looks way more pronounced.

Interesting thing about the shifter is that jag doesn't have the double clutch type transmission at this point...paddles suffice on the ZF transmissions but maybe if a more trick transmission is on the way and a push-pull shifter was in order....
While I am speculating, does anyone want to guess the weight of a boxster scale all aluminum chassis with a supercharged v8?

Beautiful lines.
Agree, that the design is exaggerated a bit in some areas, and could be toned down slightly.
Interior dash is one of these areas.
Prefer rotary shifter.
Not in love with front/side view of headlights.
Looks beautiful in silver and black, and headlights blend well in these colors.
Do not like the red version as much (as with other Jags also).
Looks good with the top up (convertible litmus test).
New Porsche Boxster is beautiful as well - how does it compare - handle, steer, drive?
Overall, very nice design work.
