Howdy folks!
Well, I finally found a single “round tuit” while sorting through some change and made an account.
I’ve always been very into turning gasoline into noise, and my 1968 Pontiac GTO does that in spades on sunny weekends. I grew bored of German marques over the past few decades and took a sabbatical with a zoom-zoom Japanese vehicle that I cannot forget soon enough.
While thinking about what vehicle to get into next, I ended up at F40 Motorsports in Portland, CT (a great group of folks and a car lover’s paradise) one day and took a spin in an XF sedan on a whim. My long-lost enthusiasm for the automotive world was instantaneously renewed, and I set off researching the X260 platform in greater detail.
It took a little while, but I tracked down a 2020 XF Sportbrake in Santorini over Brogue that checked all the boxes. Anyway, to say that I’ve been bitten by the Jaguar bug is a bit of an understatement.
Just this past Christmas, I took all the research I had done into the Sportbrake and created what I’d like to call the “Official XF Sportbrake Registry,” which you can find via the link in my signature.
Happy to be here,
Marty

Welcome to the forum. I love the Sportbrakes but just couldn't find the right one when I had to buy a car after my Buick (Opel) TourX was totaled a few years back.

I was seriously considering and researching the TourX (its a hidden gem!) until I put my derriere in one.
The vehicle was great but man oh man was that driver seat narrow!
in fact, I had just driven one before I stopped by F40 that day.
