I'm definitely in for next yr. My wife wants a BMW X6, but my plan was, next yr for our anniversary, which also is her birthday, I was going to get her a new XJL Portfolio; but in reality, that was really to satisfy "me"! Hahaha

But this fits just right for both of us, because it's a crossover, similar to the X6, but looks better, & then the obvious,,,,,,, it's a farkin JAGUAR! So I'm definitely getting 1...

So are you going to replace your RR with it ? I would love it but.... the wife doesn't want to give up the size of the RR and move to a downsized Jag SUV. While I love the RR I might just have to convince her to move into a XJL Port like you, (for me too, lol).

Ha! Yeah that was certainly my original plan to go with a Portfolio; but @the price point, & it actually being something similar to what she actually wants, I'm gonna go with this.

As for MY RRS, heck naw (in my country Memphis accent) hahaha

That's my "2 seater". Lol

I don't like it, it tries to look like a sportscar (F-Type) and yet is a supersized hatchback. At least it does not look as bad as the hideous X6 or new GLE!
Plus, I don't see the point, would rather have a XF estate or Range Rover.

I personally don't care for the look of the X6 myself, but the wife loves it. However, I do like the look of this. & the Range Rover is just for me in our family! Hahaha

Jaguar is trying to compete with MB, BMW, Acura, and others in the SUV/Crossover market, which are all the rage now. Folks who where shopping for one didn't even consider Jaguar. Now they'll pull in those potential buyers.

Frankly I think the 'XJ face' that Jaguar imposes on all new models now is getting a bit long in the tooth. It looked so cool and different only 4 years ago.

My next SUV will be a RR HSE, not an F-Pace.

It's just the opposite for me; as of this yr, I finally started liking the new look, but b4 now, I personally could not stand the new Jags of any model...

As for "my" next SUV, we're on the same page there. I'm trading my RRS for a RR AB. The dealer here has actually contacted me several times since my last visit about a month ago in regard to wanting to buy my RRS, but,,,,,,,,,,,, notta gonna happen rite now!..
