I think that a lot of poeple drive the 8 and don't understand that you have to use the powerband. I lot of time when I have let friends drive it they don't use the upper RPM band were the car makes its power. With the lack of torqure you can't shift at 5,6,or even 7K and get the most out of the car. You have got to be willing to take it to 9K +. . Like I said I drive both often back to back on the same roads under the same condition and the 8 is faster, yes only slightly, off the line. But in the curves the 8 leaves the XF. However, they are both great cars and I am bless to have both. The XF looks better than the 8 and I love the torqury feel of the V6. I feel certian that the XF will be a very colectable car in years to come as many of the few that were made hit crushers and junk yards. The ones that remain will be very desireable. With the price that they can be had they are a great value.

As for the oil issue, the rotary is designed to burn oil in the combustion process. As long as you are aware of this to me it is no different that putting gas in the car. Its just the stuff that makes it go!
