Default I test drove a 15 XF v6 today

I'm currently driving a 2010 XF SC. I bought it about a year ago and have absolutely loved it. I've incorporated my business this year and it looks like it's going to be better for me tax wise to lease a vehicle rather than do the mileage deduction, so I'm shopping for a new JAG!

Went to the dealer today and drove a 15 XF v6. I'm impressed with the interior upgrades since 2010. The touchscreen system seemed much better and I liked the other minor upgrades. The car felt sleek and modern on the inside, but I'm spoiled by the motor in my 2010. The v6 just doesn't compare to the v8 SC and gives the car a much different feeling. I'm worried if I get the V6 I'm going to be disappointed and miss the V8. Have any of you guys gone from the V8 to the new V6?

Also, I'll be posting my 2010 in the forum for sale if anyone is interested, it's only got 26k miles on it. Here's the thread for when I bought it:

I just bought an XFR. Before that had a 2007 Super V8. I'd have to have the 8 cylinder naturally aspirated at a minimum. I love the performance aspect. I couldn't live with a V6 unless I had to. But you'll have to do what's best for you. I'd miss the performance.

I went from a xkr to a 159 V6 alfa, I had the Alfa 2 months before I sold it, gives you a rough idea of how much I missed the V8.

I now drive a xf-r and really cant see me ever changing from V8 again, the difference was night and day.

I've got an XFR and had a V6 loaner for 3 days. Seemed odd at first bit I quickly got used to it. When I got back in my XFR, let's just say there was a period of "adjustment".
