Jaguar XF = Life for the Brand
I have just bought the XF. I have never driven one. However, if you serach hard enough you will find indepent reviews (even Jay Leno) of those that have driven it.Tighten your seat belts - its performance is superior to all other jags (and most importantly competiors in and one above its class). Jaguar needed this. Some will hate the look, but the "good old days" were not profitable, lost luster and leadership with time. During the last ten years,Jag was clinging to 1) thats a nice old, predicatable design 2)one time great drivingperformance that has now been surpassed by lack-luster car companies.
The new XF is so stable that it has to have a button, that will disengage enough technology, when/if driversreally want tochallenge themselves and feel a ride equal to other jags/cars.
It is a different design - way different - one of performance and a new form of beauty. There is enough of the old jag design (too much really since its supply exceeds demand for it). Life for the brand will come from bold new designs that restore Jaguar's leadership - The XF does that. Tighten your seat belts its NOT going to be a bumpy ride!
The XF is like the Field General of cars. Check out this website and you will get my reference:http://www.field-general.com

Yeah I gues it makes good business sense, after all they are in business to make a profit.Maybe it will grow on me. I just wish thatthey would have kept it the same as the concept vehicle. Now that was a looker...

Also been in the car. You will love it. I have to go to school next month to learn to tear it apart!!! Gotta love the rotating vents that will never go bad. Sorry but The car on the whole is awesome, just a couple of things they put in there that they will regret in the near future. Enjoy your new ride!

Electrical gimmicks. Those and the proximity sensors for the glovebox and overhead lamps should have never made it into the production car. Just more things to fix later on. It will cost a fortune to repair when they are out of warranty...

The reference to vents was sarcasm.
Those kind of gimmicky crap always go bad. On the bright side, the whole dash has to come out to replace them. $$$

lol....nah i think RTS shows 3.2 or there abouts. CP is gonna be the ticket though down the road. Thinking of the job security!!!
Hey have you guys had the problem with the evaporator drain clogging and the vibration at about 35mph on the 07 k?
I love those tickets. $$$.
Also, screen going black after a while driving. When car first came out we figured out the amp doing it. Made special fans to correct it, then Jag stole the idea from us, then the friggin Saudis bought all the fan assemeblies so now you cant even get one. I should have patented that. lol
