New XF arriving on Saturday

[fatboy b]

Had the call from the dealer this morning. A new XF-S Portfolio will be ready, to replace my XF-S Portfolio. Moving from Status Grey to Italian Racing Red + BSMs. Hopefully will be a little easier to keep clean!

Not a great configurator pic, but one of these.....

I'm on there, simply as 'Jamie'

Your new car looks great. IRR looks fantastic in the sun. Is that ivory leather?

Cheers. Yes that's Ivory.

Now that's some photos! Looks awesome. 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.

That looks great fatboy b Is that the usual handover for a new Jag? We're picking up our X Type replacement on Tuesday next week and don't know what to expect but am excited to say the least! An XF Sportbrake for the missus in Lunar Grey I'll be disappointed if they don't do that sort of striptease with us ................

Cheers. And yes, it's pretty normal behaviour to unveil. Where are ypu buying from?

Jaguar Inverness, well pleased with the car, drives like a dream

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

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.
