I'd be going for option number 2

[130R]

The last one

[Boba Fret]

yes.

to option 2

Saw a white XF the other day. Looked rather........odd. Too big for white IMO

[WasEYEconned]

Is option 2 the choice because of the power and colour ? isnt the xj alot more luxurious ?

[Crusoe]

not sure what ACC with Advanced EBA is but sounds like somethign you might want - active chassis control or similar

[DavidHM]

It's a company car, wait for the new four cylinder diesel...

... or get the white one.

Radar cruise - brakes when the car in front is too close (or helps you tailgate more effectively, depending on your point of view).

Yes. POWER!!

Complete no brainer. Black XF.

One of the options doesn't have the s/c v8, and the other is white which looks completely awful on the XF.

To be honest the choice requires so little thought I think your entire thread is a vanity trip (in a sort of "look how much my company loves me" kind of way)

Poseur.

You lucky bd!

Option 1 for complete comfort and a bit of rarity (and economy, if that matters any!)

Option 2 for everything else - still comfortable, but with sportier ride and unbelievable performance.

As said above, XFs are just too big a car to suit white.

Thanks Guys for the responces, just spoke to the local jag garage and his first question was do you pay your own mileage, which I do[dont ask why!] and i do in excess of 30k a year, on a monthly basis the xj is approx 65 gallons@ ^ ppg £390 per month
xf is approx 150gallons@ ppg £900 per month !!!!

Decision made, £390 a month is plenty

Thank you for the replys
