Default New XJL owner

Hello all.
It was time for a new car for my wife as our 2001 suburban is getting tired. My wife and I went to the auto show in San Diego and we fell in love with the F Pace. She really wanted to stay with an SUV since she's been driving a tank for 15 years. Well we were getting impatient so we decided to go to the local Jag dealer to test drive the XF since it's the same platform the F Pace is built on. While at the dealer, the salesman says we should really consider the XJL. He had several used ones in stock. My wife was reluctant since it's a car, not an SUV. After test driving the XJL she decided that maybe she could be happy with a car. Long story short, we found a 2012 XJL in Arizona for a great price. Cheers

Uh-huh, how many times have we read that in here? "I had no intention of owning a Jag until I drove one." So now your wife is smitten! Well Good for her, and congratulations!
