...then I will win the lottery this week so that I can go and buy this.

I have always thought that an XFR-S must represent the ultimate 'estate' with its 550 BHP

It would go nicely with teh Mrs' XF-S.

It has the finesse of a white enamel bath tub.

This is the problem with Rover ownership these days. Too many people with no hereditary class buying them. Driver taste and class should be part of the MOT test on Rovers!

Default No..

It has all the style of a Hearse and the interior styling of a Heart Foundation furniture shop.

That's another one struck off the Xmas car list!

Sorry Maninder, but that Jaguar may have the pace but it most certainly doesn't have the grace.

I quite like it I think it has something to do with having a good look over Maninder's lovely saloon when I was there.

I think that power in the estate would be great fun.

Methinks the tyres might last considerably less than on the 260. 500+ bhp would be fun though. Need to find someone to drop a Coyote V8 into the ZT

Thanks Andy - a man who appreciates the finest. Isn't it a shame that we have these peasants among us on a Rover forum?

Seriously people, although our XF-S is 1.3 seconds slower than the XFR-S for 0 to 60 at 5.9 seconds vs 4.6, the refinement of its V6 diesel and the sound when accelerating is incredible. As is attention to detail on every aspect of the car. My son was home 2 weeks ago and went in the car for the first time. When I demonstrated the accelerating on the A12, he just could not believe that a diesel engine could sound the way it does as he was pinned to the seat.

We all love our Rovers, otherwise we would not be here. But the modern Jags are at another level and make the 75 feel a little agricultural.

Enjoy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goReWJ3MjVE
