I should add that it handles "well" in comfort mode, but there is some body lean. Put it in sport or sport+ and it will pleasantly surprise you.

MJBird - I didn't start this post as a knock on the Panamera. It's a wonderful sporty sedan. I was just ridiculing the marketing BS that came with the Panamera spread by advertorial posts in magazines that touted the Panamera as a "4 door 911" That's all.

Maybe that's a typo ? I see '09's here for ~$36K ... but I think a '11 would be more ? The new 2.0 turbo starts at $46K list - and the supercharged V6 @ $50 .. bargain versus Panamera - and looks better inside & out.

I guess used jag values plunge due to historical reliability issues/costs - after '09 the XF seems to be average reliability (i.e. good for a jag) on true delta and other sites.

I just scoped out a one year old XF Premium at my local dealer (2011 Dec inservice date) and he is offering it for $36K. That's what a 3.5 year old BMW 535 costs....what's with that?
