Just a small correction.
Danimal, while I agree with you that the visual is a matter of individual taste, I'm with lionsfan in that the spoiler on the SRT does not look right (IMO). If the car needs a larger spoiler for performance reasons, they could have come with a design that has a better fit to the lines of the XF. A whale tail closer to the looks of the 911 perhaps. IMO it looks like an afterthought. I don't mean to offend any of the SRT owners who like their tail.
