Remember - this is from a man who loves his Rovers. But I am not delusional.
As for the modern technology, it can all be switched off quite easily in the configuration menus.
The Tesla design doesn't appeal to me. But, my brother's new Audi 55 e-tron Quattro EV is an amazing vehicle despite the eye watering price tag.
As for classics, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. The SD1 Vitesse is one of very few cars that I consider to be a true classic and worth having.

Totally agree with you, the XF-S is a very well put together vehicle, and a very economic bit of kit, I get around 40-45 per gallon taking son to work every day, around 20 miles, whereas in my 2.5 V6 ZT-T I get about 28-30, but I still like both cars, and not sure If I would consider a Milk float, as a daily car.
I would also like to use my other two cars, but due to the current situation, it has not been worth it, but hopefully, will be able to get to use them next year
