It's pretty typical of Jaguar to not release every model option immediately.
When the 1st-gen XF was released there was no R model, it came later down the track.
And the F-Type, there was no F-Type R when it was first released.
And the XJ, there was no XJR for a few years, it came later on.
Give it a year & see what they have. There will be a new XFR and XFR-S (probably be called XF SVR), but they won't be released in the first round.

That's close to a second quicker than the same engine in the current XF.
How much quicker were you expecting the launch model to be?

I went online and built one yesterday. I loved a lot of the add-ons. I wish they had been available for my year.
Overall though the exterior and inerior are very bland. I am quite sure I wouldn't be buying one if I was looking for a new car now. It does give me a lot of hope hope for a future release though. The technology is certainly heading in the right direction, they just need to do a lot of work on the look of the vehicle. It is not a head turner, nor does it jump out visually as a high quality vehicle. Hopefully just some growing pains for a new platform.

Better in person
I definitely agree, it looks a lot better in person and the refinement strikes you right when you get in. The Riva hoop looks perfect inside, big improvement to the interior. The tail lights actually look good in person, better proportion to the rear than on the XE in my opinion.
Some of the engineers at the NY show privately said they were really excited about the R version coming, and that the V8 is going to really blow out some incredible performance numbers. That coupled with the amazing steering everyone has witnessed in the XE should translate to a top class midsize performance car. I expect it will win comparisons between E63s, M5, and RS7 comparisons.

I have no issues with what the '16 XF looks like..sill bad-*** IMHO..
but what really gripes me is when Jag dropped the 5.0L for the packages other than the R or S versions..My 12 was the last and I'm thinking the last we'll ever see another V8-5.0L in the NA version..
Say what you want about the V6 or the 2.0T, if you like them fine...But I personally think it ain't the JAGUAR image I use to know.

Wow, insightful, I would then buy the new whiney V6 XF jaguar to replace my NA V8 to get that kind of improvement - mmm let me think about that for a moment.
