Certainly different looking.

 

I'd probably say around $65 - $70K maybe!

 

In reading it "...The smaller, more affordable F-TYPE roadster compliments the XK Series range of sports cars..." says to me under $50,000

 

The F-type has been a concept for about a year and a half I believe. It was on the auto show circuit last year.

The car is rumored to be around $45K.

Let us hope that Jag will do the right thing and make the car lightwieght with a great motor to rekindle the day of the '63 E-Type (sex on wheels, as I like to say).

 

I will let you guys know after I visited the Detroit Autoshow this Friday.

 

A quick glance give me the feeling of the Z8 lines

 

Let's hope they don't do something wacky and use a modified Ford Focus frame or something else from "daddy's" bag of tricks

I think the S-Types are over-glorified Taurus'.

My .02

 

my boss has an s-type w/ voice recognition and all that stuff...pretty cool. he asked about the f-type (he wants a new toy to sit next to the Z8 in his garage, poor soul) and they're taking $500 deposit already.

imho the Z8 looks very "50's batmobile"ish, this looks like something out of the batman cartoon show on fox now.

I saw the F-type concept at the LA auto show. I have to say that I didn't like it. The body styling was very plain, not nearly as nice as the E-type. The cool elements, high mirrors and curved window glass, can't be in a production car.
