Finally got the news from my dealer that my XE R- sport order is being sent to Jaguar with a build date of 4/1/16, delivery date of 5/20/16, handover date 5/25/16. One step closer to bliss.

In the meantime, I signed up for the Jaguar XE art of performance tour when it hits Miami,
3/3 -6, I will be there early Thursday, 3/3. The only thing that sucks is I have a 10 hour commute to get to Miami. I put my name in the Hat for the extended test drive, but then I would have a 20 hour commute to get that car back to Miami At least 10 of those hours would be in the XE though.

Like waiting for Christmas.

 

Awesome! How about more details? Color, rims, options?
I'm thinking about a change...
I would go with the new red, AWD, R as a start.

 

My options are: Dark Sapphire Blue(550$), 35t, 3.0 liter V6 340hp RWD, XE R-Sport, which has many goods. Highlights: 380 watt Meridian sound system, rearview camera, power folding mirrors, nav, Adaptive Xenon headlamps. The only option I added were the 19' Venom 5 twin spoke black finish wheels(500$). Price with destination 51,245$ +ttt. I feel like the dark sapphire blue is almost like two colors in one. At night and in the shade it looks black, and in good light / sunlight it's a gorgeous deep midnight metallic blue.

That price is at my limit, I would have liked to have , but too much money: comfort and convenience package $2,000, adaptive cruise control which is part of the driver assistance package at $3,100, 825W Meridian sound system was part of the technology package of $2,600, and adaptive dynamics at $1,000. . That would be 60k

 

Sweet looking ride!

 

Looks sharp!! I'm a sucker for blue too, and Dark Sapphire is really pretty. On a related note I noticed that with the 19" wheels the tires are staggered but if you go with the 20" they're all the same size.

 

That is a nice looking ride. I *really* want to test drive the AWD version when it hits the local dealers...
