As someone who dearly loves the F type, this is music to my ears.

Have to say that in person, the F-pace is a freaking lovely CUV. Sadly, it fails my Big American test. Even the Jaguar reps were shocked that with the seat all the way back, I just barely had leg room and I could not sit upright the way I like but had to recline the seat. Also only kids could sit behind me. over all lots of people loved it. The two big screen dash and pop up transmission dial selector was nice.

I would absolutely rock an F pace!
