yea, i think its all aluminum. the new XJ is real nice too. the curved wood is awesome, and it placed 2nd to the ls430 in a 7 model comparison, S430 was last

the XJ also beat wout the new VW, and the new audi i believe

Yeah, but the bumpers and mirrors are not. The MB photos in the calendar are all specialist paint effects. Definately not some handy polishing rag work.

that was my point. the XJ shown at auto shows was the bare skin polished. while the pic of that E was most likely the work of a crafty photo editor.
