Hi Ron,
Welcome back to MB.
I'm in SF area and wanted to ask you about XJR.
Like you, I've owned S55, E55, R500, E320 etc...and now thinking about XJR as it's fast and comfy, and not so common around town. Also, hearing these newer ones are much more reliable than old Jags. I've had ABC issues in the past as well as airmatics issues on the R500, and hearing the Jag suspension pretty reliable.
Anyone else have thoughts on the XJR?
Patrick
