So I had the chance to take a brand new 2010 XFR home with me for an hour or so while my STR's tires were getting changed, a nice test drive without the dealership guy sitting next to you giving you the slow down look. I highly highly suggest the same for all the people in this forum, it was one hell of a ride. Still never giving my STR up...but maybe they can transplant that 510hp motor...

 

So what was the sticker price for the XFR you drove? That alone would be enough to send me running back to our 2005 S-Type without even looking back over my shoulder at the XFR....

 

A nice and even $80,000.

 

Yeah I tried to finagle myself into to an XFR loaner last time I had my car in the dealership, but they only had two. One was sold and the other was in the middle of the showroom.

 

They're ugly. I'd take STR styling any day over that thing. But if given the opportunity to test drive one I would not say no...lol.

 

Wow. I have to find a dealership that gives brand-spanking new top-of-the-line cars as loaners. That would give me a damn good reason to go back to the ***********s.

 

Keep in mind when I was there just to get the back tires replaced, they also said I had a coolant leak and needed to replace the thermostat and water pump becuase of it for $1k. I had just replaced the thermostat and one of the hoses wasnt clamped all the way, I fixed it, its still the ***********...

 

The suede headliner and pillar covers on the XFR's are pretty ridiculous. I have a bright blue Dodge Nitro as a loaner right now...SUX

 

i wish i had a brand new jag as a loaner, but i guess the 02 impala ( boat) will do

 

Damn, my dealer has an inventory of S type's and Land Rover LR2's as loaners. I'm waiting for the XF's off lease to start showing up as loaners. Can't complain... at least they don't give out Dodge's...
