2012 Jaguar XF Sportbrake first spy photos

yeah but why ? automatic sucks ..

big cars are better automatic. small and proper sporty cars need manual. plus the autos these days are faster and generally more economical than the manuals anyway. the paddles are there for manual control

I agree my dad as an xf and the manual paddles are great much better to use than my manual gearbox on my five series if u want to use it as a manual

"all luxury cars deserves an auto box" I disagree, I like driving a luxury car as much as anyone, but I like the added economy, power and reduced CO2 emissions that come from a manual gearbox, I also like the fact that a manual gearbox constantly engages you in driving even if you are just taking a lazy Sunday drive. If you drive an automatic you need not take a Sunday drive at all. Just sit at home and watch driver POV videos on youtube, it is basically the same thing. I learnt to drive in an automatic and vowed that I would never drive a manual. However after learning a manual I discovered that it is a completely different experience and now I don't think I will ever own another automatic again..
