I'm thinking to early terminate my 2011 S/C lease, and take advantage of good lease offer on a new 2014 XF 3.0 AWD. Anybody heard of any changes coming in the 2015 MY, (which are usually expected to roll in late September)? My current lease is good for 6 more months, so I could wait if there were some worthwhile changes .....

 

I think the total redesign is due in 2016, so I don't know what Jag would modify before the makeover.

 

I did think there was supposed to be another little nip/tuck before the all new model but I haven't read anything concrete. It should launch after the XE though.

 

Have you driven the 3.0AWD and what's your view on how it compares to the V8 SC?

 

last night I signed on the lease for a new 2014 3.0 AWD. Will pick up the car next week. For 90% of my driving routine and style, it's (I feel) as good as my 5.0 S/C. Also in the winter, I'll be able to drive it 90% of the time when it snows (a lot) around here, as opposed to 5-10% now. I look at it this way: I had the privilage to own the great 5.0 S/C sleeper for a while, so I'm a lucky guy, but time to move on. The new car is portfolio,ultimate black on London tan/jet headliner option.
My monthly payment is 15% less per month, the MSRP is only 5% less than my 2011 S/C was. Hope I will like it enough...........
I will say goodbye to the beast, with 39,000 miles.

What I'm really looking forward is to the next smaller XE, all aluminum with the largest motor offered....we shall see.

 

Sounds terrific - enjoy the new ride! Let us know how you're enjoying it in a few weeks once you've had a chance to settle in with it!
