did you drive the car? did you enjoy the brutish nature of the car...unexpected in such an elegant cat.
I don't think it was a wrap but I'm not sure. what I am sure of is that I didn't like it and my wife really didn't like it. The only way a black roof would have worked would have been on a black XKR. Having said that, I did drive it and was more than impressed. I've now driven two and it's only a matter of time before we dump our current car and pick up an XKR. Looking at probably one between 2011 and 2014.

My 13 XKR is my daily driver. Had it since 2/16 and now have about 15k miles on it. Believe it or not; No door dings yet (hope I haven't jinxed myself). Using it as a daily driver is one of my pleasures in life. It is reliable and fund to drive. That is a hard combination to beat.

Take your time. Great deals pop up occasionally but often enough. If your patient, better deals can be had in Autumn. The search is half the fun.

Agree totally. We got a great deal on our 2010 XK in late fall a few years ago. Car was in Chicago and the market for cars like that dies in winter up there.
