Now that's some photos! Looks awesome. thumbup Feel any different to your former car?

I'm waiting to see the XE, if not for me, gonna get me one.

Is that rear diffuser 'standard' on the -S, or an upgrade?
Cheers. The diffuser is standard on the S with the black-pack

Feels about the same as the last one. A little quieter, and I think not quite such a hard ride in normal mode.

That's lovely. I would actually prefer those alloys on an XFR. I'm not keen on the Nevis style.

Like the black bar on the boot lid too, and they've added 'Jaguar' under the leader too.
Cheers. I must admit I was blown away by how striking the colour is when they took the cover off.

Mine was a showroom model, one look and I had to have it. Best colour they do IMHO.

Same with me. No regrets it's a great car and gets a lot of positive reaction.

While I was collecting mine another customer was signing up for the same colour.

It will be a sad day when mine goes in a few months, been a great car and will miss it massively.

I will be back for another Jag at some point (hopefully soon)!

We didn't get a unwrap but given the Sportbrake was a pre-reg and I had already driven it no point. However we did get Jaguar Jackets, Flowers and a bottle of Champagne.

When I collected my XF 10 days ago (see my relevant other post) I got the full treatment even though it was 5 years old! The great reveal in the showroom under a bright red shimmering cape....plus a bunch of flowers for the missus!

Good stuff. Looks great.

Unfortunatley mine's in for a gearbox issue in Dynamic mode. Jaguar want some info on the pressures in it.

So the first thing to go wrong on my British-built car is the German-built gearbox frown

Dealer has been great though, and I've got the Sales Manager's Sportbrake Portfolio S for a few days while it gets sorted hopefully.
