Sales of the F Pace are rocketing. The public gets what the public wants.

I have a 2007 XJ diesel as daily driver. It has over 140.000 km on the clock today & apart from having to change the particles filter at 100.000 km, it never broke down once. It is a very frugal car that offers incomparable comfort & silence on long-distance trips. I think I'll keep it till it reaches 300.000 km before changing it... for another big cat, of course!
But of course, my real mistress is Bubbles, no doubt about it!

Is that a competitor of the stelvio and the zillion other small suvs?
Personally, I do not "get" the bulky appeal of these cars yet.
As long as you have, go for it.
Cheers,
Bert
The Stelvio looks really nice and not really like a bulky SUV. For a moment I did consider swapping the Crosswagon for the Stelvio but in the end my relationship with FIAT products has not been completely satisfactory, hence the XE R-Sport  When they produce a viable hybrid version it will be on my list! I suppose that will be the HE Pace

It was a XK8 for me; I have always liked the shape and the echo of the E-Type...
...until I realised that it was too long to fit in the garage (lengthwise).
So along came the idea of a Morgan.
What an excellent decision that was, having at first recovered from the post-war handling shock.

When they produce a viable hybrid version it will be on my list! I could tell you but they would fire me..... I've come to the conclusion that I'm old and increasingly distanced from the world today. Jaguar used to make sporting cars combining refinement, grace and agility. Unfortunately the modern money in much of the world wants a brand and a box, because they are not drivers. So, as with Bentley, Rolls Royce, Jaguar has been forced to follow the money and produce what the modern market demands. As with the F Pace I'm sure it will be a fine SUV. But it isn't a Jaguar: the XE, XF and XJ Class saloon and Estate are stunning cars, the F Type better than many a sports car, but because they are not made in Germany few people buy them. Perhaps they should have resurrected the Daimler name, but then perhaps Daimler Benz AG would have objected.... The day Morgan offers a SUV is the day I sell my Plus 8 and exit this community! I hate SUVs, they are neither cross country vehicles nor trucks. In a moment of madness I bought an Evoque. A triumph of style over substance and lots of wind and road noise, poor ergonomics, uncomfortable seating and it drank fuel. Terminally unreliable as well, the only car in 40 years that has let me down and stuck on the side of the road waiting for a recovery vehicle.

I'm not an SUV fan, but it looks quite nice for an SUV, it seems keenly priced, so I'm sure they'll sell very well.
