I almost bought the convertible F-Type to replace my GTS but thought it a tad expensive. I decided on the Cayman which is great, but I couldn't resist the coupe so I've put a deposit down on one today.The first cars are expected in the first quarter of 2014, no idea when I'll get one.

What price are they coming out at?

They are £7k cheaper than the convertible , so around £60k for the V6S, the V6 is £51K and V8R is £85.I'll probably go for the V6S, you don't need to add a great deal as they come with Auto, Sat nav, DAB, Bluetooth, cruise, full leather, Xenon's , sports exhaust and variable suspension.I'm struggling with the colour, I like it in white but my Cayman is white, I may stick with white plus a pano roof for contrast, plenty time to make up my mind.

I test drove the V6S convertible and it's easily fast and noisy enough for me so I'll probably stick with that model.The coupe V8 is the R model so more powerful again than the V8 convertible, I'd imagine its very very rapid but I'll be happy with the V6S.£85k is a bit rich for me anyway, especially for a weekend car.

I must go in to our local showroom and have a look, they are always after me to get another Jag, so the discount could be massive..!!:thumb1:

The Coupe would appeal to me if I only needed two seats. Proper boot so you could tour Europe in it. Convertible is just a weekend away toy.

Delighted for you that you are getting one of these beautiful machines. I can't wait to see photos of your car. :)

I'm seriously considering buying a car on finance for the very first time. Just because I really need one of these cars in my life. My head say 'no'. But, I've sold my Hawk and so there's a good down payment just sitting there in the bank 'doing nothing'.........................

Don't think I'd be able to finesse The Boss, though.

They are a stunning looking car, much more attractive than a Cayman.

Porsche does not understand that as roads get busier, driving dynamics become less important and the whole package is more relevant - design and imagine are more important and the F Type kills the Cayman/Boxster in that regard.
