F-Pace

Saw my first F-Pace on the M40 this afternoon. Cracking-looking bit of kit, until I saw the rear view after he passed me.

The badge read '2.0D'

Seriously - a greet-big fekk-off waggon like that with a pathetic 2 litre TDCi spin-off?? Nought to sixty in about a fortnight?

Sorry to have offended. I didn't realise that a four-pot oil-burner was the engine of choice in a large, sporting SUV-thing. My bad.

Might be the engine of house for some people.
Might not be for others.

Why do you care?

I just love the way PH is going these days; someone has an opinion, and because another poster has a different opinion (God forbid...), the OP is instantly derided and labelled a ''. Small-mindedness rules OK.

My opinion - just to expand on my post - is that, historically, Jaguars would not have had a four-pot, much less a four-pot diesel. Ignore the part where Ford got hold of them and tried to turn them into a mass-market product; their history was about glorious straight sixes, V6s, V8s (especially supercharged), and V12s.

So, really I could not care less what buyers want to have as a modern-day company lease vehicle, but I do respect the Jaguar history and tradition and am truly sorry that the modern consumer marketplace has forced Jaguar into producing cloned sterotypes.
