Very nice. Love that sound! Perhaps your wife treats that go-pedal a bit differently from mine. When we purchased her the NA 5.0 XF, she followed me in my XJL home about 130 miles from the dealership. Every single time I passed a car at totally legal speeds, she would drop behind. By a bunch.

Half way home we stopped for gas and she had a grin on her face; "This car has a LOT of power" - she would deftly claim.

"Honey, you are correct. 385 HP is a lot of power. Now, if you would only discover that little pedal under your right foot and press it once in a while, you may even get to sample that power... :-)".

My wife a Carnelian Red 3.0 V-6. She presses the go pedal all the time. She wants to make sure she gets the use of the 340HP she paid for. Most fun car we have ever owned.

Very nicely done video. Was that a wrap? What color is it, something like matte steel brushed metallic?

I'm not usually a fan of the flat clear coat, but that XF looks fantastic!

She doesnt quite use all the power yet but she loves how smooth it is!
