Just to throw fuel on the fire
, found this in my inbox this morning...
Motor Trend's comparison between the A7 vs CLS550 vs XJ
2012 Audi A7 vs 2011 Jaguar XJ vs 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 - Comparison - Motor Trend
I'm not sure I agree with their conclusion, but just another opinion...

If MT could not do a proper, apple-to-apple comparison, then we should all take the result with a grain of salt.
My questions for you current X351 owners... (1) does the turn warning signal tick like the grandfather clock of ol'? (2) does the leather seat wear and tear easily like the older cars?
It would be interesting to compare the issues on the 2nd year model XJ vs. 1st year. My car is a 2nd year model X350 and has had zero problem (just returned from a 450-mile trip to Santa Barbara and Palm Springs).

A sporting version of a car should come with performance summer tires. But if you do decide to drive it in winter, you must take it upon yourself to purchase your own winter tires. That's what I did with my daily driver which normally wears summer tires! Then again, I wasn't deceived with a "winter mode" button, although the car does have a whole host of dynamic vehicle stability controls and a limited slip differential.
Try the same thing on any performance oriented luxury cars equipped with high performance summer tires (Mercedes AMGs, BMW M and the like) and I think you'll find similar results in the snow. Oh, and they all probably have snowflake buttons.

I read in some of the posts above about popping ( I called it knocking ) sounds coming from the overhead or sunroof. I do hear that at time.
I stopped at the dealership yesterday and was told "thats in recall"
a part needs to be replaced. EZ-Fix!!
