Dave- to me it does look like a euro box. Just another exec car
In that class look at the new IS F sport- design wise nothing in that sector is anywhere near as radical. The rest look too ordinary, including the XE
As mentioned before the big XJ has a funky design. I thought this would've followed suit. Lyon would expect the cars in this sector to be a bit more daring rather than the grandad/chauffeur sector
In terms of the XF- I love how it looks inside and out. But wasn't overly impressed with the drive. Felt too floaty, didn't feel comfortable pushing it because it didn't feel very sure footed. That was a sport which I presume had better suspension? The XE would have to be a much better drive IMO
