I like it alot and agree it has some AM influence especially in the rear...very good looking car but I would probably do something a bit different with the grill. I thought the Jaguar S Type was one of the ugliest cars ever built but they really got it right with the XF.

I bet you can get the same numbers of the XFR, or close, with a smaller pulley and a drop in the compression ratio in the engine of the SC'ed XF.

I love the look of new XK but XF....I mean rear is gorgeous but front looks like last gen sonata front on steroid.
No matter how much it costs, I would take something else over it in heartbeat.

Yeah this car is quite fast and handles very wheel as I was shocked when I test drove one. I just wish the seats had bigger bolsters but other than that ....

IDK the car looks very good but it is still a Ford. Maybe the quality is better??
Wasn't this the first car to be made by Jaguar after Ford let them go recently (non-Ford parts)?

My feelings exactly. I'm not caring for the front. Maybe I miss the jaguar figure leaping off the hood. The back is HOT though.

I saw one on the road a few months ago. The douchebag driving it cut me off for no reason (he was entering the highway, I gave him PLENTY of room to slot right in behind me as I was cruising the right lane, but he went down the shoulder to get around me.)

It's a cool looking car, but if you get one, please don't join the Douchebag club.
