The first S-Types ("X200" 1999–2002) are distinguished by a U-shaped centre console and optional touch-screen navigation system in the 2003 and later models. The traditional leaping jaguar hood ornament was optional even though it is approved by the US and EU standards and breaks away in the case of an accident.

If you think Jaguar soul and character is "frou-frou" in nature, and is enhanced by gee-gaws then, yes, by all means go for the leaper !
No harm intended. Just fueling the fire a little

Petthesweaty-- I agree. I'm gonna miss the leaper on the newer jags. If I get one, I may have to add a leaper myself to the car, even though some think it looks funny. I don't. To me, that's what sets it apart as a jag!

Ok. It's an iconic geegaw. How's that?

IMHO Jags are gorgeous without them. I think they look "added on" no matter how you slice it. It's like gilding the lilly.
