Hi all. Newbie here. Been driving a fully loaded X5 (tired of the boxy truck-like ride of the 2015 and the X3 is just boring) that's coming up on lease end soon. Spouse & I split our driving 50/50 between two vehicles so it's important we both like the SUV. Empty-nesters with a big dog. Other car is a MBZ E-class sedan so we test drove the GLE 350 and, well, it's a GLE 350. You've seen one, you've seen them all. You've driven one, and you think about driving back to the BMW dealer. One big vicious circle of boring.
Then we started noticing F-Pace's on the road. Full stop. What is that?!?
Have since been chasing the 2018 F-Pace Prestige for a week, we're now attempting to zero-in on the Portfolio. Unsure why those in the US right now are all exclusively Yulong White and ALL of them Yulong White w/Sienna interior. You'd think if this is a test market launch, they'd have selected something else. This White/Sienna probably won't be a fair test launch.
Only 1 Portfolio within 200 miles of us, so we're test driving it (a 35t) today or tomorrow. Just moved here from Boston and quite frankly, the Jaguar dealerships here are not as customer-friendly/driven as the BMW & MBZ dealerships are on both coasts IME. It might keep us from buying a Jag locally. I digress. Real point is this forum has been our primary source of specific info and we're grateful.
The new Portfolio interior seems like a worthwhile pursuit. If we could find other colors, we'd order online but there aren't any nation-wide it seems. Wondering how long it might take to special order!
