The modern Jaguar F-Type was rolled out in 2013 as a convertible sports car to embody the modern version of the legendary E-Type. It was recieved with high praise. We even got to test one out.

Not in any v8 package.....only the v6 and v6 type s will get a row your own. And those will be RWD only. The people running the booth at NAIAS were saying all the v8 versions will be automatics with awd. 
Not that it would matter much, as if I were ever to buy one, it'd be a v6 type s with the row your own. I agree with Clarkson, the 6 pot is just iconic.

Nope, won't do. I'll keep the BMW. Personal best is 3 holllowbodies + amp and suitcase, all in the back.
