Its an amazing car for sure, definatley has enough power compared to the lacking 420hp version i have in my xkr.

 

new Car and Driver came yesterday... they test a black one that looks amazing, bright red interior.

They were very positive on it.

 

will this be coming to the states??

 

Yep... Coming to the US in the fall.

Also, the rotating vents and pop-up knob can be left in the "open" or "up" position via the onboard computer settings. I personally would love watching the car "wake up", but you can turn that off.

 

Sounds like Jaguar might've actually saved itself! They have a fantastic car, they just need people to buy them instead of MBs, BMWs, and Audis. The lack of a proper manual 'box really has me bummed, but that was to be expected. From everything else I've seen, heard, and read, it looks like Jaguar really has a winner on their hands with the XF! I can't wait to see the all-new XJ and XK in a few years!

 

I really would buy it over an M5, E63, etc. The only car I'd have to really think about would be this vs. the next RS4. The XF I drove was that good - even my wife liked it a lot! The XF vs. a 550i, E550, A6 4.2, etc. is a no-contest win for the Jag, IMO.

 

Going to test drive the diesel XF tomorrow morning.

 

My Dad Loves this Car - But I keep trying to Convince him to go 09/10 Cts-V instead.

Funny how they dont compare the XF-R to the Cts-V.... Wonder why?

 

Because if they tried a real world comp the CTS wouldn't last 10 mins before breaking it's tranny.

 

Whereas Jaguar is historically known as a yardstick of reliability?
