Jaguar F-Type Has Officially Arrived What Do XF Owners Think ?
#21
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.

Slipping the wheel through your hands is not an acceptable high performance driving technique though so that is not the concern. Quick ratio steering should permit relatively sharp cornering without moving your hands, so if the wheel is really off center your bottom hand can hit the top of the thigh, that's the real concern.

I like the styling. Looks like a worthy competitor to Boxster and MB SLK, but needs a better name. I thought Jaguar left X-Type, S-Type, etc.-Type behind when it discontinued those models. Why not XKF? As in next in series after XKE.

Will have to see it in the flesh but it looks pretty good in the pics. Don't care for the headlights or the extra gills on the front bumper. Suppose they are boy racer type brake cooling grills but certainly unneccessry on this car. Current XF headlights might look interesting. Hate the door handle treatment. They will be a PITA to use. Totally useless design element. With a SC V8 this car could be an animal on the track if suspension is up to the challenge. Time a test drive will tell.
