I really like the shifter. I think it looks much better then a stick sticking out of the middle of the center console. I just think it's different and people need to get used to the look. And everywhere I've looked, the exterior has gotten criticism but I think it's great. It's masculine looking and sporty but with some sophistication imo. Whatever floats your boat though.

that's my major beef with the exterior; it looks like something my mom would buy when she retires.

I'm surprised the looks are criticised - the XF is one of the best looking cars on the road right now.

Yes, I love the look of the interior. I want to like the exterior, but I don't. I'm hopeful that the new XJ will look really good to me when I see it in person, the photos are meh so far.

Nice, but I thought these were quite pricey.

I think it has something to do with the headlight. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't fit.

+1. I've never been a fan of the CLS. I don't like the exterior, the interior is too cramped in headroom and backseat space, and the car to me is not a coupe.

exactly. I hate the "coupe-sedan" class of cars. This is why I dislike the IS.

I'm beginning to think that JayJay and I have similar taste in cars lol

+100 That car still causes me to stare in admiration, especially in a sea of the typical E-class and 5 series.
