Jaguar is poised to show us a new F-Type Coupe, but we don't need to wait for the official word to know what that will be like. Roof or no roof, the F-Type is an awesome car, a playful cat that has loads more character than its rivals.
If you have $81,000 to spend on a car, you could do a lot less than the 3.0-liter, 380 hp supercharged F-Type S that we tested. But if you're lucky enough to have $92,000, the V8 S that Consumer Reports got a hold of is your cat.

This isn't even a review, more like a 3-minute collection of hyperbola used to describe the engine… oh the engine. Just like the Range Rover, the touch controls aren't as intuitive and the screens take a while to lad. Don't expect to be able to pack a full week's luggage either, since The F-Type has a small boot and no room behind the seats.

But we already knew all that, and the fact that the F-Type is a car you simply want to have, no matter the compromise. We just like the soundtrack for the video.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
