I don't know. It is so hard to tell if it is even a Mercedes with the grill camo'ed like that. The production model will probably look different than this covered up pos.

Eh... awesome is not what comes to mind when I drive them. I've driven and been driven in the last three generations for extended periods of time, and baby-sat an S550 for a couple of weeks (long story). They're nice, for sure, but they aren't the automotive gods that people make them out to be. Some of my best friends swoon over these things like the Second Coming.
I've toyed with the idea of buying a new one for when I feel like driving in a "sane" and "responsible" manner, but ultimately, I can't pull the trigger. $100,000 is very hard to justify for a car that makes me feel like a 90 year old man, which a Cadillac DTS, Lincoln MKS, or Chrysler 300C would do just as well.
Repair bills are also astronomical. One incident involving what was basically a tune-up and patch job for various little annoying things that went wrong with a friend's 2002 S430 ended up being a lower-middle 5 figure bill.

I kinda like the current one. Definitely not for everyone though.

Be fair, remember it was I initially who mentioned interest in the Jaguar, after disqualification of the Audi S5, for over 6 months now. Elsewhere you'll find that my purchase is contingent on the availability of the 5.1L V8. Also I am in the process of trading my older STS for a Ford Escape Hybrid, to assist my in Town treks. It uses no gasoline for trips where 40 miles per hour isn't reached.
The Jaguar like my 06 STS will probably only be driven 7k per year, so it's very much a luxury and not a necessity.

Oh I'd been eyeing the XF as a possible candidate since Jaguar announced production.
And the fact that I can order a Leaper on the XF makes it that much sweeter. :yup:But I've got lots of time to make my decision.
I've been thinking about making the XF (or whatever car I get) a low mileage auto.... while getting a smaller "tool around town" car for everything else.
My first choice was Astra. I totally love the car, but the lack of sunroof in the 3 door is a dealbreaker.
So... maybe a Cooper or Clubman.... But I haven't had the time to drop by the dealership.
I want something stylish.... and not frumpy looking.... and has good mileage. And preferably not Japanese.
