Jaguar XF spotted on the road today - picture inside

[mondayo]

I saw and went in the XF at the weekend. It looks really good, and not lardy at all...the rear 3/4 is a bit Aston(ish), but it definitely doesnt look like a Mondeo or Lexus.

As for the drive, it was quick, sounded really good and the handling seemed good too.

Have seen a few out and about now testing in the Coventry and Warks area - in particular I had a "spiritd" drive following a couple of development cars heading back towards the M40 dfrom the direction of Moreton in Marsh in the Cotswolds a few weeks ago - looked (and sounded) great moving.

However tonight coming back into Coventry, a black, unbadged XF left the A46 from the Whitley Tech centre towards town pretty rapidly, going past in traffic I noticed 4 exhausts, a set of large matt black wheels and a revised front airdam with extended spoilers (couldn't see the bonnet as I was in the Elise but imagine there might have been a set of grills lurking up there somewhere?!)

The new XF-R perhaps? No pics unfortunately but I'm sure I won't be the last to see it.

Looked very aggressive BTW and growled nicely.

Was at Gaydon at the Heritage Motor Centre on Sunday for the AGM of Under 17 Car Club and saw quite a few on the roads nearby, along with several in the car parks there! They look lovely .

I prefer to think of myself who (on occasion) drives a BM, as opposed to a BM driver!

No pics I'm afraid, but all I can say, as so many otehr have, is dont judge it until you've seen it in the flesh.

I think all the development teams have special spray on dirt kits. It'd be great if you could buy this stuff, cover the front and rear and hey presto, no more worries about be mugged by scam cameras.
