Jaguar went the other direction, revealing the stunning F-Type convertible at the 2012 Paris auto show and hinting that a hardtop would follow. As planned, the Jaguar F-Type coupe makes its debut at this year's Los Angeles auto show, building on the striking design and raucous engines of its droptop forbear.
