I read somewhere today that the diesel engine that will be available for the F-Pace will give it 3 second GREATER times than the petrol engines 0-60. Wow, 3 seconds is a lot. Ouch... I'd love better fuel economy but after buying a car that costs 60 grand 8 to 9 second quarter mile times would seem embarrassing. Well maybe not to everyone, but it sure would me, uh, in a Jag....
After thinking about that for awhile, I kind of would be surprised that someone would every buy that scenario in the US where we like powerful cars and like quieter petrol engines. I asked my wife if she'd consider a diesel and got a glare... okay that means NO.
Since it seems like everyone on this forum is gearing up to get upper end models loaded with lots of toys, it seems counter-intuitive to get small less powerful engines. Maybe it's just me.
