Breaking in a new 2013 XFR

For other cars, here's what I had at least briefly considered:
BMW - Looked at some 5 series, but wasn't impressed with the value versus the Jag. You have to spend a lot more for a similar car, and I'm not a big fan of BMW looks anyway. They are so common here.
Mercedes C63 - Too small
Mercedes CLS or E - Also more expensive for the value, and I don't like the hood ornament.
Cadillac CTS-V - Too ugly, interior not as nice either
Dodge Charger SRT8 - Could possibly be the best value in a car today, but couldn't get past how it looked like a police car, even though I do like the looks.
Audi - I really don't like Audi so I didn't consider it at all
Infiniti - These are really nice cars at a reasonable value but when it came to comparing to the Jag, the power and the prestige just weren't even close
I felt that the XFR was probably the best car you could buy at any price in the end... I'd take it over an M5 just for the looks.

I have heard the CTS-V is way rough around the edges but don't have any friends who own one.
The XFR is a brilliant car in that it can be a sedate luxury sedan one moment and a firebreathing muscle car an instant later. Just switches back and forth like it is reading your mind in any given moment. The SRT8 is a muscle car thoroughbred but can not even pretend to be a luxury sedan...
Cheers,
