Princey I've just decided you have the best car on the forum. Not for long though.

So I've now had the XFR for 9 days so thought I should put the pics in here and some of my thoughts on it.
1st things 1st, I absolutely love this car, the mix of comfort, kit, handling and most notably performance is truly immense. The 5.0 v8 Supercharged engine defines this cars character allowing it to pottle about when you want to or jump to bye bye license speeds with the smallest flex of the right foot.
The ride is better than the XF DS I had before which must be down to the active suspension but also has more body control when you push it cornering much flatter. The brakes and overall stopping power are something else and the car hides its 1800Kg weight very very well.
The options fitted to the car are on the whole pretty much perfect, the B&W sound system is brilliant, reversing camera and blindspot monitors must haves in my view and the active cruise is a real bonus on longer journeys. The only thing which is a bit pointless is the DVB TV which just can't find any decent signal but that might be more to do with where i live than any real problem with it, just not something I would have spec'd
It'll get it first real runs out and about over Christmas and the New Year so will get a better understand of the MPG and overall range, but at the moment its shows just over 300 miles from a 60l tank which while not brilliant isn't exactly catastrophic given its only been driven around town so far.
Here are the pic I posted before.

Shame you are getting rid of the Monaro. I think it looks particularly awesome in that photo you've posted.
Made it. 5 minute job with some imagination and a half decent printer.
Which one is your ride?
