If you are happy with MB gear boxes you should be very satisfied with the gear box in the f-type.

Car & Driver uses a simulated rollout, while Jaguar does not. Ever wonder why Mercedes' factory numbers are higher than any of the pubs? Mercedes uses a true zero to sixty. With a simulated rollout, you're looking at something closer to "3 MPH to sixty". We use simulated rollouts because traction is much less of an issue and we can produce repeatable results.

Manual transmissions are more fun. Why buy a sports car if you don't want to be fully engaged in driving it? My VW Golf R 6spd is more fun around town than my black series ever was.

I hear ya....but to me, rowing the gears, isn't engaging. I've driven some awesome dual clutch cars and they've allowed me to concentrate on improving my driving, instead of ensuring that I didn't miss a gear or matched the revs just right. To me, squeezing everything out of the car is engaging.....the quality of a manual shift is my strength or flaw...not the cars fault...
Plus if I'm paying over $100k for the latest technology, I don't want one of my driving symptoms to be clutch foot

Porsche 911 Turbo S 2014! E63S 14, Audi S8 13, CLS63 12, E550 12, C63 09, all tuned
The transmission, I maybe wrong, but is the same 8 speed ZF transmission used in Audi's. When I drove the F type S for 600 mi, it was very comfortable.
I also drove it way faster than I want to admit.

Jaguar has really pulled their socks up to come up with this F-Type V8S and coming up Coupe version. Having a manual transmission these days on an 7 or 8 speed trans? Doesn't make sense.. anyways, maybe its just preference. Bottom line for me - I just love this car!

Drove one of me mate's Convertible F-Type S tonight and man that's a sweet ride. The amount of thought and engineering done on the car is awesome! I love it! Dynamic mode was utterly amazing for pushing the car on the streets! The exhaust notes is just nuts! Love it when the valves open up and it gargles when u downshift! Its a supercharged V8 that you may want to consider! Images taken from my iPhone. Last interior shot was awful.. Sorry! :p have a good weekend!
