How does the AM compare to the f-type? I prefer the look of the f-type, but both are designed by the same guy.

i'm looking at the f-type as a possible toy in a year or so. probably the 6 so i can get the manual.

The Jaguar was awesome, but the AM is just unbelievable. The performance is way better than I expected, and the build quality is better than the Jaguar. The automated manual is a bit jerky if you leave it in drive, as all the magazines say, but if you use the paddles, it is very smooth. I was expecting the AM to offer roughly the same performance as the F-type, but it is much quicker with an incredible exhaust note.

Why don't you just lease cars?

I had leased the F-type, but the purchase of the AM was easy! Same price a month as the Jag with a 3.9% interest rate.

Gotcha, that makes sense. What did you get the AM for? Low 70's?

I was at my Ford dealer a few weeks ago, and I couldn't believe that somebody traded in their Shelby (with low miles) for a 2015 GT. It happened to be the Ruby Red one that I had ordered, but changed my mind and took the Black one that the dealer just got in. :-)
