I got to drive the F-Type R Coupe at the local dealer this past weekend, and WOW! I think it's a fantastic car, much better looking than the convertible, and many design cues to remind one of the E (updated, of course, but still cool that they did it). And fast as stink! For a high performance car, it may well be the best value on the market, even at just over 100K. For the price of a Ferrari 458 Italia, one could buy his and hers F-Type R Coupes, with nearly 100K left over.... (for maintenance, gas, and more importantly, *tires*!)

I just wish they had made the rear hatch side-hinged....

Amen. Saw a new convertible this weekend in Asheville, NC. Red and black (Georgia colors). Beautiful cars! Happy for you.

I just ordered a Polaris White '15 base Coupe with the 19" black centrifuge wheels and both the exterior and interior black packages plus the powered tailgate, the switchable exhaust and the configurable interior lighting package and the MSRP is just under $72K so from my vantage point, I got the exact look I wanted at what I think is a pretty entry-level price point for a car of this caliber....can't wait for this car to arrive...which should be around Sept-Oct.

I drove one recently and I must say the car is quite solid with excellent brakes plus the looks of the Coupe is simply off the charts in my opinion.

Well I own the F-Type V8S convertible and love it. It's a beast on the track, and I love the looks. Bloated Miata? Really? And the interior is as nice as any modern car I've seen other than a Bentley Continental GT.

The coupe is really lovely too, though I think the pop-up spoiler is a little weird compared to the one on the convertible.

We all went down this road last year and don't want to fan the fires, but The coupe WAS nice. Like many would I buy one, at 93 grand. No, they missed the mark . I LOVE MY 2008 XKR COUPE. Its a Lincoln town car inside compared to the new one. Hope the new owners enjoy them.

To me, the F-Type convert is just a bloated Miata. Coupe looks much, much better. I have an old Jaguar poster with an F-Type convertible concept and my wife (who cares little about cars) said that it was far more attractive than the F-Type production, which she likes not at all.

Frankly, Jaguar did not hit a home run with this new car. A so, so interior inside a OK exterior. Plus far too expensive to attract the more youthful demographic.

The convert still does nothing, but the coupe I can like. BUT, beware its small inside, also the v6 supercharge is 93 grand. Ouch.
Loved most of it though.

I thought you hated the F-TYPE and all it represented Joey! Welcome home prodigal :-)

I had the convertible for a week and loved it, then get to play racer at Willow Springs in the Type R in a month. Can't wait.
