Has anyone actually driven the supercharged XF? I was totally amazed at the car in all respects, especially when you compare standard features against options on the e60. Although i would never consider owning it, it does help put pressure on bmw to get serious about some of their option prices, like well, CA for instance that is STANDARD on the XF.... And no, I cannot build a bridge and get over this CA thing yet.

The xf is a great looking car both inside and out. I have not driven one yet but will take a serious look at one in two years when great used ones start to hit the market. Jags are terrible lease cars as they loose so much of their value...
Seriously, the F10 really needs to up its ante. So far, the renders are bland.

Yes I test drove the XF Supercharged. It was a terrific car. It's very fast, the interior is beautifully made, the electronics were pretty easy to operate and the handling was excellent. I can see why it is winning many of the comparisons. I still got my 550i Sport as it drove even better (although not as fast as the XF Supercharged), I'm a BMW person and I would not ever seriously consider owning a Jag.

Jags have always had a bad reputation, poor motors,poor finish etc. etc and are no comparison to the German technology that is built into any BMW..But hey I am biased

I was waiting for someone to make the quality rating post. I read it in one of the mags the other day that Buick and Jag were at the top of the list. Interesting that BMW is ONE pip above average...
