I think the new shape (F10) will release in 2011. not in 2010.
Next car, the F10 will it be...
(I like your optimism about release date of the F10 - the German's calculating with autumn 2009!!! - so you guys will get it only a few months later...)

My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Sport
Carbon Black Metallic/Cream Beige
Manny tranny and other stuff
Recently gone, but never forgotten:
2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name)
Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year
2002 Chrysler 300M Special
Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss
Umm...
335i sedan
M3 sedan (if one's still being made)
Civic Si sedan (if it's still being made)
I will definitely have another Mustang GT in the garage in the future.

My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i
2006 BMW X3
My next car will have to be something to replace the X3, its lease is up next April. Leading choices are a 328xi wagon, another X3, or a competitive product. I'd like an X6 but don't want something as big and expensive as it for a 2nd car (but still want a nice daily driver with good utility). If I could fit a 2007 X5 into my budget, I might do that.
I've got 2 years left on the 550i lease. Next for it would be an F10 (if available) or an E92 M3. I really like the coupe styling.

My Ride: 2014 530d XDrive M Sport
A Jaguar XF? 
I was just reading a thread about the Jaguar XF vs the 535i... A very heated debate about the pros and cons of both cars... Mentioning any other car besides a BMW on a BMW forum is akin to literary suicide! I've always been and always will be a BMW fan. I would love to get the 535i with the M Sport package here in Korea, but alas, the 535i is not available...

Do they not ship the 535 to Korea?

As for the 535i, BMW Korea does not import them to Korea. We get the 520i, 528i, 528i M Sport, 530i, 550i and the might M5. Pre-LCI, the 525i (with the 530i badge
) was the big seller. Now it's the 528i with a starting price about the equivalent of US$ 67,500. The 538i M Sport starts at about US$ 77,500 with the 530i starting at about US$ 91,500. The 550i and M5 are both way over US$ 100,000.

I'd have to agree with you regarding the front end of the XF. IMHO, not the most attractive front end that I've seen.

My 530d is starting to get too many miles on it, so I am thinking of buying a new car. I am really happy with my car, so maybe it will be another e60 but I am open for other suggestions. What are you guys planning on buying next?
