On a side note, I forgot how good the XF looked

I’ll never forget the XF I had from new - nothing but problems. I was glad to get rid after only a year despite the tremendous hit I had to take on the px value.

A colleague recently bought a very expensive iPace. He approached some red crossing lights so braked - nothing happened. He had to swerve up over the pavement to miss a woman on the crossing. When a Jaguar driver appeared to take the car for repair (which he unsurprisingly refused to drive) he said they were getting a lot of similar brake failures on the iPace as there was a problem with the regenerative braking circuits. The car was only two months old and my colleague is still battling with Jaguar to reject the car and get his cash back rather than a repair or definitely not a replacement iPace. They say the defect has been repaired, he says he has no confidence in that car or any other Jaguar !

Oh wow, if they have braking issues they all need to be immediately recalled before someone is killed

another interesting design feature is the lower side grilles in the bumper...they look very similar to the old BMW f15 X5 M-sport pkg lower side grilles:

it's like they are using the same template to design cars these days...

SUV's seem particularly bad, difficult to tell the majority from one another.
