A more glowing review of the car couldn’t be writen by Jag’s own PR department.

Yes, it’s a great car…But come on guys, let’s hear the flaws along with the superlatives please?

rising gear selector and pulsing heartbeat start button, all cool stuff granted, but won’t that novelty wear in time?

Pity the new Jag isn’t aimed at younger crowd in Aus as it’s being marketed to in the rest of the world. Unfortunately us aussies get the honor of paying the highest price in the world for the XF. For example the bottom of the line model in the US (which by the way is the N/A V8) is US$49,995 ~ in Aus it was around AUD$135,000, not including on road costs and not including the new tax hike… so lets call it US$50,000 verses AUD$155,000. So if you want to project the image of an obese, balding (with perhaps a comb over) 50 ~ 60 year old with yellowing teeth then go right ahead and get this car because that’s the demographic jag is squarely aiming for in Aus.

The headlight bumps are usually at the bottom part, as in many BMW, but the XF’s are on top. It looks a bit odd, maybe too artsy fartsy but the whole car looks pretty promising outside. It’s about time the S-Type be replaced; even the previous generation 5-Series was far better than that.

The imported Mondeo is not subject to the Luxury Car Tax (LCT) but LCT on the $A105 500 XF is $A11 020, so on this occasion someone other than the government is responsible for the majority of the rip-off.

Yep – the reason is you guys get ripped for lux cars. Whereas we get ripped for everything but lux cars. Try mondeo Au = ~A$34K UK = A$39K
