Regards,
your comments about the XE are very interesting for me right now. I had a longer test drive with the 240 hp version last week and I was very pleased. After several 3-series BMW's as company cars I'm getting a little bored and since I like the standard rear wheel drive, the Jag seems like a logical alternative. The Ford petrol engine though seemed a little weak for the German highways but that is maybe only my personal taste, liking stronger cars.
I couldn't test the XES, has anyone done that?
Legroom and head space at the rear seats are reasonably smaller than in the BMW, but I see the car more or less as a 2+2 seater or a 4-door coupé, as you like. Those who look for more space in the rear, have a look at the new XF. Beside being larger, the cars are very similar.
What really surprised me though was, the XES is 5000,- EUR more than an equally equipped 340.
I thought they wanted to be competitive?
Still have a few days to make a decission, latest next week.

P.S. The dealer also has Maserati's. The Ghibli is a really beauty, but too extroverted for me as a company car.
