Guess which Jaguar F-Type was getting mobbed at this year’s LA Auto Show; yep, it was the one with three pedals and a funny gear lever.

The F-Type manual at quietly on the Jaguar stand, and the red V6 doesn’t draw lots of attention. The gear lever is nice, but nothing too special. Even the pedals are fairly normal. But it’s that simplicity that will probably draw manual transmission lovers to this car.

Getting even less attention was the F-Type AWD, because it looks just like an F-Type with a tiny AWD badge in the rear corner. But Jaguar will probably benefit greatly from this car, boosting already hot sales of their sports car. And how many AWD roadsters can you buy?

People in the Snow Belt may actually consider this Jaguar a rational buy.
