Because of these we won't see another wonderful D-Type or XJS or XJ220. No, F Type isn't a true successor to neither.
But it probably will give Jaguar lots of money and brand won't fade out.

Just meh. Comparing to its :ill: competition

Yeah, when Porsche introduced the Cayenne, it definitely put an end to halo hypercars from the brand.

Oh, wait...

...right ok
 
I wasn't sure about the F-Pace for a kick-off until I had a good look round it at Ignition and I'm starting to sort of come around to the way it looks. That high belt-line doesn't do much good for rear visibility and the V6 petrol engine is rather pointless.

Meh.

Not anytime soon, at least.

That article talks about an XK replacement, that's all. It also doesn't place the blame on the F-Pace; that was your doing.

Not that it's the F-Pace's fault: it's a response to the market. I'd rather lament the existence of a Jaguar crossover than the death of the brand. Which is what would probably happen if they focused on loss-leaders like an XK replacement or new hypercar. Because as we all know, the XJ220 was a tremendous success.

Second paragraph basically summarizes why this got meh instead of SU. But Jaguar shouldn't forget why it became successful!
 
The only uncool thing about this car for me is that you can't get the diesel six in North America. I just hope they make an SVR version.

And Lamborghini is working on one too, aren't they?
 
These cars are only cool after the styling dates a bit and you can pick up a nicely specced one up second hand for under $10k (see: first generation X5, Touareg, Cayenne).
 
Like the Audi TT and the recently-polled Evoque convertible, I feel like this is going to be uncool to us car folks, meh to some, but cool to a significant portion of people. Even if we consider those people uncool. Hmmm.

F-Paces have sprung up all over the place where I live. It's like I've entered a new part of town in a GTA game and suddenly these - and Range Rovers - are the only SUV/4x4s to be found.
 
It's not been on sale that long and I've already seen plenty on the road, it will probably sell really well but it's just another big SUV that looks mildly different to the others on sale. The only real difference being this one has a Jaguar badge.

When people get over seeing a Jaguar SUV for the first time it will just blend in, I won't be giving it a second glance anyway. Uncool.
 
Kinda relieved by how well it turned out in terms of translating Jaguar styling onto an SUV body. Even the F-Type arse isn't as off-putting as it ought to be. The high belt line also makes it look a lot larger than it really is.

I thought seeing so many here was down to living so close to JLR's engine plant. Turns out they're really on their way to becoming the national default exec SUV for the next decade. Not being so stylistically challenged must help a ton.

Being the face of the school run isn't a cool privilege, though.

At least it isn't a transverse-engined crossover.

Still uncool, though. Still a crossover. Even though it's probably a more dynamic, more interesting drive than a Land Rover Evoque or any number of tall wagons with pricey nameplates, it's still just a crossover.

Define successful? I imagine they made more money on XJs than they ever did on the sports cars.
 
The rear end is not good, more should have been done instead of copy-pasting. Too bad, I was going to vote Cool...

Well, without XKSS, E Type, D-Type, XJR13, XJ-S, XK120 and so on Jaguar would just be another luxury make. They made Jaguar truly famous and special. If it weren't for them, Jaguar probably either would't exist, or it would make different vehicles, probably cars like Hyundai or Opel.
 
Meh. It looks good, especially for an SUV, but it blends in too much with it's competition and it wasn't really necessary for Jaguar to make.

Even with those few cars, Jaguar is still known as a luxury make.


You're not making much sense.

Cars like the Mark 10 and its ilk were always ministerial cars, so the Jaguar saloon car range already had prestige. If anything, their current range is as close to the mainstream offerings from the likes of Hyundai, because of the broader luxury-tech proliferation.

The E-type was why we won't see another D-type--assuming Jaguar continues to stick to the alphabet's order and not jump on the retro moneygrab bandwagon by releasing a new model with the old moniker.

One could argue that the F-type is the new XK, as the E-type moniker was used on cars in one area that were sold as XKEs elsewhere.
