      I can’t decide whether the XF is a big Mondeo or an ugly Lexus. It is surely the biggest mistake of car for a long time. The dashboard is trying to be something it isn’t, the seats look like they’re from a 1995 Scorpio and the car has a all the personality of a grey cloud.
      There are a selection people that don’t agree with me but I feel this time next year this car will have dramatically failed the test of time and in 2012 you will be able to turn up at the Olympics in £3k’s worth of XF.

      very true, it will be interesting to see how the new XJ fairs, I’ve seen 2005 350′s for £5000-£6000, the new model is going to make these even cheaper..

      Fair point,but then lots of jags seem very cheap after a few years,you see the old boys at the golf club with personal plates who do no miles looking like they have a nice bit of flash for not much money!!
