Went out in the new XF today, this is one of those cars that looks even better in the metal. The interior is beautiful, I love the way when you press the start button the interior comes alive, the round gear selector raises from the console, the vents turn to allow the climate to start working and you get an amazing blue light around the console and all the insrument panels, very 007! interior lights that sense your hand and turn on! I was in the prem Lux model so some nice features that seem to be controled via the touch screen like heated seats etc etc. I like the ipod interface, it shows all album artwork and can be controlled via steering wheel or touchscreen. Driving position and seats are very good, important for me as i'm a very tall 5,6! Don't like the Jagvoice system, too limited as what it can do. Liked the rear camera system. Only had a brief drive as the snow is comming down quite hard here today, but I'm going to drive it again next week, but saying that it handled it perfectly. Speed Limits! not where I live!

I love boobies i love boobies i love boobies cuz i'm a big kid now! (Come on everybody sing with me you know the words!)

Was looking at it on Jag's web site and it does look good. I'm even tempted to chop in the MG for one. Wonder if I would be happy moving down from a 4.6 V8 to a 4.2 supecharged V8?
I'm off down to Inverness tomorrow and was planning to look in at McRae & Dick's Jaguar showroom, part of the same company I got the RRS from. Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

So do I

But I'm really afraid to drive the XF, as I wouldn't be responsible for what I might do & I've only just got my new RRS

I just love the look of the XF

Tried to request a brochure from their web site and it keeps trying to tell me that I dont live in the area that I do, their post code sort is all wrong
Ah well hope they get the software in the car to work better Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

Is this an XJ replacement? Porsche Cayenne S Diesel 66 Plate

Haven't posted here for a while now, but do look in regularly of course, thinking of swapping in my 06 TDV6 for the new XF, but not sure I want to see my RRSport go as I still love driving it so much, will have a test drive sometime soon to see if it is as good as it looks.  Arrived - RRSport 2016 HSE SDV6 HSE

Got the brochure and price list when i signed for the RRS last week. Hopefully take it for a drive in the next week or so (mum needs an upgrade). We've had an S type in the family before and was a really nice cruiser. I love the jaguar badge on the back of the XF .

I was disappointed that the XF lost a lot in the translatin from concept to production but it is growing on me.

Looks like Ford bailed out at the wrong time as it is winning awards/group tests all over the place and may well prove to be the car that pushes Jag back into the black.

The XK is stunning car too.

All they need to do now is replace the outdated XJ and Jag may well return to the glory days of its past

I personally hope they do really well!  Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

How old are all of you lot??? You really need to take a good hard look guys....Jags.....mmm ok, the new XK I can understand (just about) but an XF....I don't care how nice the inside is - the front looks awful....and I still think a BMW 530D and a 535D licks the car in terms of being one of the best diesel cars around. Ok, go for the V8, and watch yourselves lose more money than Northern Rock...

But hey.....what do I know....the X Type and S Type were class leaders!

I'd rather drive a Lexus than a Jag - and thats an awful thought.....
