Traded in my XJ8L
Sorry, folks, I traded in my '05 XJ8L. Loved the car, but the RWD was somewhat of a challenge on a ~10 degree inclination with the snow :-( Got a '13 XJ AWD just this week. Was sorry to see the '05 go...
I will continue with the same user name; that XJ8L was my foray into Jaguar land, and my id will be an ode to that!

Greg, I think the new XJ drives harder/sportier. The drive on the last generation was smoother and I want to say more luxurious. This new generation has a lot more toys in it - haven't even looked over all of them yet!
As far as comfort goes, both are Jaguar :-)
Had I not had the issues with the RWD, I would not have traded in - just yet. But, I do not regret it.

Greg, in my earlier post I forgot to mention that the AWD works beautifully on the car. Earlier in the month when the dealer had the Spring Sales event, they had built a path in their rear parking lot through snow, with still maybe 4 ft tall snow banks on the sides, and were letting drivers drive through this path for testing. I sure did. Drove beautifully. Wouldn't have taken my own RWD through that. Ever!
