They teased a XF coupe and wagon in 2017 and XJ coupe in 2019. I highly doubt this will happen as its a known fact in the auto industry coupe account for less than 10% of all new car sales world wide but I can only dream. Think about it, ahhhhh....... an XJR-S coupe ! I need to go now I drooled on my desk and need to clean it up .

If they paid any REAL attention to percentage of market, I could 'dream' of replacing my moribund GMC Sonoma mini-pickup with a short-bed Jaguar pickup and NO LONGER have a "PITA" situation from the GMC's torturous seating into the bargain.

Nor need an oxygen mask and portable air-stairs as are required by the high-altitude pickups that have come to dominate the US market.

Those fool-baits get any taller, they are going to have to start filing flight plans with the FAA.

BTW.. Jaguar pickup seem far-fetched? Look at what a "Gentleman's' pickup was like circa 1946-47:

Curbside Classic: 1946 Hudson Pickup (with a surprise!)

Tweakable to 200 HP? In that era? perhaps I should have said "moonshine runner's pickup".
