Just ordered XF

[sjp63]

Just ordered a 2.7 XF through the company here in Italy. Lets hope they stay in business!
standard, no options a 3 colour choices so im hoping for a quick delivey.

First jaguar after years of BMW and the spec looks really good.

should be good

Enjoy. the more I see them, the more they grow on me, and are more subtle than the likes of BMW, so should age less quickly. I may look for a used one after next year.

Personally I think the XF is the most uninspiring Jaguar ever made.
It looks like any other BMW/Toyota/Mondeo/Blah.Blah on the road. And for the first time ever a Jaguar is made to look mundane.

I wont be getting one.

Disagree - I'm starting to see more and more of them on the road and they do stand out because of their overall stance and proportions in a segment dominated by bloaters with wacky lines along the sides. Shame it's not of alloy construction though - the dynamics, while polished and capable, would certainly benefit from 2-300 kgs less kerb weight (see XJ6 3.0).

I think they look really good (inside and out) and would love to have one.

I've driven the 4.0 N/A one and it drives brilliantly and sounds lovely, I think Jag are on the money with the XF, its just a shame as mentioned (above) that they're so heavy.

That'll be the 4.2 then...great drive indeed, but in five years time that platform will really show its age.
Inside they're great, but not so sure how long the gizmos will last! Externally, they look great with BIG WHEELS! Poverty spec, or the wrong colour, and they look incredibly cheap all of a sudden. Very nearly a great design imo but from some angles and, like I say, with the wrong spec, they look narrow and tall and just wrong.

The new XF coupe looks good, hope they stay with the concept design and dont water it down like they did with the original XF.

Lucky bu99er! I wanted one but couldn't find the 15K more than a replacement S. So that is what we have. Very pleased with it & the dealers, certainly mine, are fantastic!

Theyre growing on me. Had a drive in an SV8 when first rleased. Not a fan of the gimmick gear box or the front styling. Very good drive though. The problem I have is it dosent look like a Jaguar. I know plenty of people thought the styling of previous Jags old fashioned but the XJ, S and XK all appeal to me because they have elements of older designs.

I like the XF and would`ve bought one to replace my 14k 05/55 S type diesel had it retained a reasonable trade in value.
