Its curtious to check in so hi![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I have moved from the Mercedes CL55 over to a 2008 Jaguar XK Coupe in liquid silver as my every day car. So far so good i like it more every day, my ex CL55 was a great car for two years until the crappy ABC suspension started to play up and then i ended up hating the dam thing
So it was either a Maserati or an XK, the XK won on the basis that i already run a couple of temperamental Italians as weekend toys.....bloody italiand ![Big Grin](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I have read every thread on here over the weeks before buying my first jaguar, i like to know the ins and outs of all my cars. Hope to contrabute and get to know the XK better.
So hey

So, like me, there are some design elements of the XKR that you'd like to see on your XK. I figure as long as I don't change the badging on the car, I don't feel like a 'poser', and drive something that I love to look at (although the wife does get jealous sometimes

I don't think the 20" Senta's were restricted to the XKR, they were just a $5000 option. I too like them, and just picked up a set on eBay.

Welcome aboard!
I went from a 2007 Benz (E550) to my 2012 XKR and haven't looked back. The E550 was the ultimate sleeper car with a surprising amount of V8 power, but the XKR took that to a whole new level. The CL55 is obviously well above the E550, but I suspect you will experience a similar feeling of having stepped up every time you walk up to the XK. (On looks alone. lol)
Enjoy the ride!
