Now I'm excited! I've ordered the same car, in the same color, due in September.

Went with my Brother as he took delivery of his Dark Sapphire XE R-Sport today - same wheels as yours, too! Of course, his is RWD only. Which interior did you choose? He order the black and blue with blue stitching - it looks amazing!

all black interior. Thought long and hard about the blue seats but decided to just stick with all black. Cear bra and tinted windows coming next. Didn't do the dynamic package but did do the technology one with the bigger powered stereo for me tunes!

Great color! I'm thinking the black design package will look nice on it as well.

Looks really good and now that I have received my XE sport, I can confirm what almost all of the professional reviewers have said.. it is likely the best handling sedan of its size in the market at this point.

Yes, I drive my wife's from time to time and I'm amazed at how well it rides given that it sits so flat and handles so well. Far better than the previous gen XFs were, and just a joy to drive on twisty roads.

I like the dark blue, but we have a dark blue Volvo. Are two dark blue cars being a little coy?

I am on the fence with the dark wheels, albeit they look great in the earlier post. So far our preference is for Glacier White. Do you think that would look weird with black/blue interior?

I picked up the Polar White with the black wheels and jet black package... It looks super sharp. Highly recommend.

Although had the Sapphire Blue with the Black wheels been available I probably would have jumped on that.

I ended up buying a car on the lot to get a better deal (IRR). If I had ordered a car, I would've went with Polar White. Cesium Blue is striking as well. They just got one in the showroom right now with black wheels and all black interior.

I may go with the full Nano Coating like Ceramic Pro as the bra will just cover the front clip and I don't want to see that very slight orange peel even if it is self healing.
