My Ride: '07 550i with SP, Nav, Logic7
Default

Zero to 60 mph: 4.3 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 12.7 sec @ 112 mph

This is XFR and M5 territory

Price? Starting at $68,000?the only option is a $2200 adaptive cruise-control system

Even I prefer the new F10, I will give the XF a serious test drive when it's time for a new car.

I've never, ever, seen anyone who has actually driven the XF make this comment... The car feels tight, agile and well planted - the XF has a stellar ride/handling balance. Some bring up the quality issues on Jag, frankly I have as much confidence in Jag as I have in BMW in that department. Jaguar builds a great car these days, and the XF is one of the best alternatives to the E60/F10 on the market today.

dont get me wrong i love the car. i just feel the e60 is a bit tighter and feels a bit more nimble. IMO of course

i was hit up on the freeway by a xfr (supercharged) about a month ago. he egged me on so i took the bait, we started at 45mph and the M5 had the xf my bus lengths by the time i hit 5th gear. there was no comparison. i would say the xf would be closer to the m3 territory

Your car isn't stock, though... The XFR is a very quick car, it's roughly on par with a stock M5.
