Jaguar has officially announced the postponement. It sounds like the project is shelved for at least 4 years, which means it won't hit the streets for at least 6 years. Glad I picked up an X-Type to tide me over! It's not a convertible, but it's a blast to drive (and much easier to justify to the wife!)


Jaguar postpones plans to develop F-Type roadster
By MARK RECHTIN
Automotive News

LOS ANGELES - Jaguar Cars Ltd. has postponed plans to develop its much-anticipated F-Type roadster, citing budget pressures and a need to concentrate on other products.

Jaguar has 17 product programs coming in the next four years. They include redesigns of the XJ sedan, XK grand-touring convertible and the S-Type.

Concentrating on those programs was seen as more important to Jaguar's long-term success than the F-Type, spokesman Simon Sproule said.

Said Sproule: "Jaguar is still emotionally wedded to doing the F-Type. We just need to do other things more urgently."
