The strut-like grille and the hood scoops make the Jag look much better than the BMW 3-Series and the Mercedes C-Class sedans. The 2010 model looks like an improvement.

They say that the XF is replacing the S-Type, and I feel that they picked the right car to choose. Remember: I'm talking about style here. Performance wise, though, the base XF has more horsepower than the base S-Type; an improvement, speed wise.

They've made the hood from the '09 model improved.

Between the XF, C-Class & 3-Series, I'd go with the Jaguar brand, but the cost might be one of those important factors. 46.4 base price for the XF, while the C-Class is 32.9 and the 3-Series is 33.4 thousand dollars.

C-Class is the most affordable, but for the extra money, is the appearance of the Jaguar XF worth it??

if you're just talkin about the grille or using it as a large factor in the equation, no. you can get a Bentley/electric shaver/etc after market grille thrown on just about anything.

Easily one of the best looking cars to have come out in years.

Looks better in person too.

Shouldn't it be compared to the 5 series and E class, though? It is a midsize. Or an "executive", if you prefer.

The 5 Series is 42.8, with 230 HP. The Jag has 70 more horses. The E Class hold 268 horses and prices at 53.2.

With that being said, the XF looks like the best car, unless you're looking for MPG, and the 5 Series would win there (18/28).

I can see the Mercedes grille being replaced, but how would you go about replacing a BMW grille?? Even if you could find one that looks like the XF's Strut-inspired grille, the BMW uses a type of separator in the middle, which IMO, takes away from it.

no one buys that pos i figured you would post up the 528 or 525 :hmm:

cant believe it only has 230 w.e car ways a ton i have driven a 530i and the 545 with the v8

if the jag has 70 more horse compare it to the bi turbo 535 or 550 with the v8
:unsure: right?

I thought it looked nice in pictures till I saw one on the freeway a couple months back. Definitely looked better in person, they absolutely nailed the design of this car. This is the probably the only thing Ford did right w/ Jag before they sold it off.

Yeah you better have a parking garage, driveway in a nice neighborhood and no business in the hood driving this sh1t around. N1ggas on the west side will be up in your sh1t Early.
