Hi everyone I am new to this forum. I put a deposit down today on a new 2013 XJL AWD Portfolio 3.0 in Lunar Grey. I wanted to get opinions from everyone on a couple things such as color and model of the car.

1). I originally wanted to buy a XJL V8 supercharged but the deal i am getting on this AWD is pretty good. I live in Michigan and was concerned with buying a 5.0 RWD with out winters here but thought snow tires may make it better.

Do you guys recommend the V6 and or the V8. I like power but also want it to be safe for my wife.

2). Color. What are you opinions on the XJL in Lunar Grey? My wife said she sees hints of purple in certain angles/lighting. We also like Stratus Grey but none available in my state.

3). Would the available spoiler look stupid on the supercharged V6? It only comes with the XJR and I haven't seen any V6's with it.

4). The dealer is offering to take the front grills off and paint them black like the XJR for under $400. What do you guys think? I thought with the grey colors it would look better in black vs. the chrome.

I appreciate your input and look forward to getting my car as early as next week! :<) thanks,
