Currently, the garage floor is under my hood. Beautiful XF, how’s the ownership experience been?

The XF, while awesome underneath, opens the wrong direction.

Clamshell hood is best hood.

You say there are engines there, but all I can see are giant lumps of plastic.

You don’t like having to remove your hood in order to reach a serpentine belt?

ETA: That was to the Trump GIF. Your edits confuse me.

1.6L of fury punching 188hp/177lb-ft@2000rpm. It also weighs 2912lbs, so it can scoot.

Weight savings! Make your engines out of plastic and BOOM, you handle like a car without an engine!!

I love it. I chose the 2012 because it was the only time you could get the natty V8 w/ the great facelift. Very happy with the the ride, design, and performance (excluding the tiny fuel tank). Zero issues, but I bought it in Feb with 16,000 miles and I think it’s only up to 21,000 now. But I’m counting on it being easy to live with.

It’ll be so fast, it’s like it’s on fire...

You don’t even want to how how involved it is to change a water pump on this thing.

It’s Sew Fawnseh, all that black plastic. So here is mine. Don’t have any of the SL or either Dodge so those will have to wait until later.

That’s unusual.

Just as unusual is this.

It’s a prototype 2.0 diesel F Type.

I was unsure what you meant. I wanted my reply to be clear.

Is there really a market for a diesel F-Type?

Looks like it still opens towards the front, though.

Mercedes do a diesel SLC so I guess so.
