Default New Jaguar F-Type R

I don't know much about it other than it's sexy as hell, has an engine sound to die for, and starts at about $100K.

I didn't think the coupe version would look good. I was wrong.

No manual transmission makes me sad.

I tested the V6S and the V8 - both are amazing but you can't beat the V8's sound - simply amazing with or without the exhaust boost.

But, no manual transmission for now limits my interest. Jaguar mentioned that it would introduce a manual in 2014, so we will see. It would be a real shame if it put all the effort into making the F-Type and left out a true manual.

Man that car is gorgeous

I'm also interested to see if they release a manual option for it.

Did not think I'd like the glass roof on it (imagining how'd it look on my XK), but it works on the F-Type. That makes the F-Type more compelling of a car and close the gap on Porsche even more. How will Maserati's future sub Gran Turismo competitor fare now?

This car looks/sounds amazing, definitely has more personality than the 991S.

How are these F-types on reliability so far?
