Aquill should be disqualified from the winter-themed contest! I took a glance at his cell phone picture and just did a double take. I was perplexed by the lack of snow in that picture!
(Aquill, we got another 4" last night....Seriously, this is awesome. i hope we get 1' of snow on the weekend. I absolutely love it! Effin' April and still dealing with this crap!)
Saw it at the NAIAS. The front doesn't quite do it for me. The interior is quite drool-worthy, however.

Ha ha ha...lol ancient! Yeah no snow here! Although the first week we were here it snowed like 3 different days! LOL!!! The first day we were here (monday first of this month) it snowed! Like 2 days later I was at state farm switching insurance over and I walked in and the women were like "oh were sorry hun we're closing up and going hommmeee!) (mind you that was in a total southern accent!) I was like huh? She was like "yeah there's a storm coming through with snow so we're leaving and going home!" Mind you that was at like 3-4pm! We got slush not snow!

Word! When we lived in Atlanta, mind you we lived in Chicago prior to this, they got a dusting of snow and the entire city was closed down. My dad went to work and nobody was there. We're talking about a Ford Plant and it was a ghost town.
Funny stuff!
I don't know how this is applicable, but it's funny so I'll pst it...Next time the city closes down due to snow...just say "lliter gir liter gir nea nea nea liter gir neh!"

Hey all yah I just love my XF it beats the hell out of my old 300c. I took the factory supercharger and put and paxton novi supercharger on it and I'm running about 18 pounds boost so it goes mighty fast!!! I'll post some pics soon!!! My check engine light stays on all the time but it's the supercharger I think????? It drive like a dream and it's the only one that I've seen??? So is there any other XF owners out there????

Do you have a link to where you purchased the supercharger upgrade? I didn't know that Paxton Novi made superchargers for Jag's, especially for a car that just hit the market.
When I had bought a new M3 a while back I had to wait almost 8 months before they came out with a supercharger upgrade. They only had ones that fit previous models until almost a year later.

"The standard engine is a 4.2-liter V8 capable of zero-60 mph performance in 6.2 seconds according to Jaguar. Jaguar says the supercharged version of this engine boosts zero-60 performance to just 5.1 seconds."
Sounds like my measly X-Type would beat a naturally-aspirated model off the line to at about 60. Though, Im sure that V8 should open up from there.
Truth is I get no thrills from an automatic which means that this X is probably my last Jag......at least until Im an old man.

Glad to have ya back!
I find it wrong that they didn't try to improve performance to really stand apart from the str...I guess 2tenths is a pretty good improvement...Although it's not the xf-r so I guess it's hard to compare the 2! I imagine the xf-r will clean up the str though...

Hey all my name is john I'm 22 and I'am a realtor and I a'm almost finoshed with my MBA and so this my first time on this site!!! and yesterday I bought a brand new 2009 Jag XF, sold my 2007 Chrysler HEMI 300c to the dealer and bought my 4.2L Lux Pac supercharged XF. I have to say I can't believe thatI am a Jag owner because I loved my 300c so muchand I have heard that jag's in the past are crap like the s type and the xj8, but I just love my 09 Xtype so far and it drives so nice, Is there anyone else out there who has one yet, I would love to meat another XF owner the dealer I guess mine is very rare because it is the most loaded model you can get and it's supercharge and also the color is very rare I have heard. You all should at least go test one out and it make's my old 300c look like a ford tempo. Peace out

First off NEVER NEVER NEVER enter another's person home and insult his fav toy! As a 22 year old you would've NOT been in the era of the lucas electronic gremlins.. I'm sure you surf the net and have read ALL the great ratings on the XJ8 on MSN reader reviews! JD Powers!!! Check the dealer about the XJ's service vs Benz, Audi A8, 745, Caddy DTS etc! Also compare the Stype to that 300C, CTS, EClass........................... By the way I think the 300C was a boost in the arm for Chrysler with some of the Eclass under pinnings. But as American cars go we all know the Chrysler has been the worst of the world for decades and you come here and insult us in our forum... I'm sure you do not have a XF and probably a kid posing to kill a little time. An internet image with all the toys your mind can dream..We are here to share in the passion of one of our favorite cars, not weed out trolling pretenders.. If you are a real adult.. we do not introduce ourselves with our stature/wealth.. Because most guys here have credentials, $$$, education, etc... Just a "few" suggestions to heip you merge into this or any forum...
"If" I'm wrong... Welcome
