WOW this is one sexy car!
Carbuzz also mentions today that they will be offering it in a 5 liter V8 with up to 540 HP. This car is so beautiful. http://www.topspeed.com/cars/jaguar/...-ar127909.html

"The new Jaguar F-Type Roadster will be powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine that delivers a total of 250 HP in the normally aspirated version and 375 HP in the supercharged R version. Jaguar has also confirmed that the future F-Type two-seater convertible will be priced under the current XK, or at about $85,000. That would mean the F-Type Coupe would have a similar if not identical engine lineup and will also be in the same price bracket, possibly with a few thousand dollars knocked off."

If this performs anywhere close to an M3, I'll have to seriously consider it....

Similar size, looks, heritage and better cachet. But not a better car...

I think it is a fantastic looking car. The back seems a tad too short. But nevertheless, fantastic looking car. Maybe the "F" in the model name stands for fantastic?
For the money though, Aston V8 Vantage is a better looking car. It won't get out dated, whereas this Jag seems to have too aggressive lines which may not age well.

I think I read recently that Jag now ranks higher than BMW in reliability. Still worried?

With 540 HP, this car should outperform the M3 and the V8 Vantage. That's not a valid comparison IMO. This car looks great and I am pretty excited about it.
