Default Tracking the XF Tomorrow

I'll be spending the next two days mostly with the new XF and XE in class and on the track. Alone and doing comparison testing against the German sedans. If anyone has any questions, let me know and I'll try to find out the answers. Same with photos.

If you want to see a color combination or close up of something, just let me know.

Cheers,

It looks the same from a distance but the closer you get the more apparent the changes become. Its a beautiful, sexy looking ride.

Yesterday was all XE. Today is XF. Should be amazing if it's anything like the XE.

I was so rushed I wasn't able to read much of my email. Sorry. I think there was, and it looked good. These may not be it, but it will show a better idea of the how aggressive and we'll done the 2016 XF really is. It doesn't photo as good as it looks. Like the F Pace, photos lose the depth of the curves.

The back seat was much larger with an additional 2" of leg room. The new control system was as fast as the latest phone. Pinch and zoom, instant typing response, just super fast.

Default 2016 XF

I don't think the photo will show how graceful the built in deck lid lip is.




Rear fender looked more flared.

Default 2016 XF rear end

This angle shows the spoiler lip and rear fender flares better. In person, it's a very aggressive car. The detailing is beautiful.





Check out that line coming off the front and wrapping around the rear.

And the new interior....



The dash can also go to a full screen navigation display. Everything felt fantastic that your hands could touch.

Lol....to invoke Scotty from Star Trek lore, "I've given all she's got Captain!"

At least for a while
