:mrgreen: Guys, I can only confirm. Its a great car. Got mine (3l petrol engine) last Friday and have driven 1500Kms... What annoys me is that I still love the old S and I am trying to get my wife to drive it so I don't end up selling it.
Now the sad part; I also have a 2003 XKR with 20 inch tyres and I can't drive the XF and the XKR at the same time! I think the XF handles better and is more comfortable - but I just love that 2003 XKR design... another car I will never sell (that's six in the garage...) and it is in mint condition.
For those of you who are waiting delivery of your XF: be patient! its worth it.
