The AUdi Q5 would make such a wagon redundant. A TDI Audi Q5 would be a perfect replacement for my wife's BMW 5 series touring.  Take a look at the interior shot. This car is a beaut: link title

Replying to: houdini1 (Apr 18, 2008 1:08 pm) The XF V8 is rated at 16/25. Unfortunately thanks to the mostly carryover chassis, its several hundred pounds heavier than the XJ, which hurts fuel economy. As of late, Jag's reliability has been superb. Now on my 4th Jag since 1996, I've seen the huge quality improvements that have been made first hand. Each new Jag has been much more reliable than the last. To date my '07 XK has been flawless. They've come a long way since the days at British Leyland. I don't think buying a new Jag is really taking a chance, at least as far as reliability is concerned. Depreciation is another matter. Buying a Benz out of Alabama, that's taking a chance.

Replying to: anthonyp (Apr 18, 2008 12:13 pm) Tony, my thoughts exactly! I would drive a Honda or VW tomorrow if it drove like a BMW. Prestige means nothing to me whatsoever. Drivetrain and Chassis is what dictates my decison in terms of buying any car. Being given dealership services that mimic a first class airport lounge is of no importance to me whatsoever. Give me a competent blunt and non-phony mechanic in a gritty shop and I am a very happy customer. Nothing else!
