Jaguar F Type - V6 Manual
Looking for a short term lease. What are my fellow Vette members thoughts on the Jag Coupe???. Obviously the looks draw me and the noise.
Cant afford the v8 model but then again id rather have the stick shift and the v6s can sound amazing
If C7 leases dont improve in the next few months i will have no choice but to cross over.

Great car. I'd do it.
718 is a good option too.

I haven't heard the V6 but if they can sound half as good as the V8 then it's a win! I'd do it off looks alone because they are sexy as hell.

The V6 shares the same block as the V8 with the rear two cylinders blocked off. The exhaust note is different but has that raspy sports car sound when you need it. I have a 2016 R convertible with the V8. I'm ok with the auto since my knees negate a 3 pedal car. The 550hp and AWD in the R launch this car like a rocket. I haven't driven the V6 cars but understand they are no slouch. I came close to buying a new Z06 convertible but wanted something different. No regrets.
