So the US gets the Supercharged 5.0 V8 with two different states of tune? 470bhp AND 510bhp?

Looks like it. The 470hp 5.0 Supercharged model replaces the 420hp 4.2 Supercharged model.

I see what's happened here. Obviously the old S'charged 4.2 couldn't be called the XFR because it wasn't the XFR. It was called the XF SC. However, now that there is an XFR, Americans will riot in confusion about what happened to the XF SC. Where did it go? So, as a psychological, and yet relatively inexpensive trick, they've just detuned the engine and made two variants of it for the US. This isn't the first time I've seen this. For starts, where else in the world can you buy a car from the future today? "My BMW is a 2011 model" What? It's not really from the future. And also, incidentally from Land Rover, who should have a problem now that the LR3 has been upgraded to become the LR4, will that make the LR2 the new LR3 when it gets an upgrade. No one seems to think this through.

Your face looks like a hyundai. See it in person before you say things like that.

Explain me, what characterizes typical korean design for you?

It's too clean looking to be a Hyundai. It looks more like a handsome iteration of a more rounded Ford design...

The 40 hp difference with the Xf-R is not big enough

I bought a black Jaguar 2010 XF V8 (Chassis Number: SAJAA07F1ALR49036) from Dubai recently. I was overwhelmed with excitement along with my family when suddenly my brother noticed that the color in the left/front door (passenger side) is of different color. It is a little bit dark green rather than black, which annoys me realizing that its cost me more than a $100,000 and to think that it is unexpected of JAGUAR, a very famous and elegant brand of European car, to sell cars to its patrons without even passing the quality control. Aside from this, there was a noisy sound in the brake pads whenever i hit it and again DSC alert comes out in the screen twice. It goes off whenever I switched off and on the engine. I returned to them and they told me they want to paint that door again. I REFUSED since the car did not even reached 1000 KM and cause its just less than a month since its been purchased so they MUST replace the entire door and they agreed with that. However, I feel so bad spending this amount of money on such a car like that. Either return my money back or at least give me brand new car. (thats what i asked forand the car still with them for more than 3 months) "That's the Jaugar 2010 !!!" for more info send to fj-one@hotmail.com
