S type R and XFR....

[Cerbman]

I've heard somewhere that the STR is the better handler, surely this can't be true.

Think you'll find a hard time finding anyone to agree with that.

Thought they were the same undeneath?
XF being a rebodied S-Type platform.

Although my STR looks lower whenever I follow an XF, so might be that giving different impressions.
Either way my STR on 19" rims, handles superbly. IMHO.

A friend who was a Jaguar salesman certainly prefered the STR handling to the XKR, he said it felt more planted than the XK.
