Hold on David.
You guys have cheaper cars, cheaper fuel, luggage, are able to have HIDs legally, and you can turn off the passenger air-bag. You have also probably seen another XF on the road - still waiting to see one over here.
All we have is the German autobahn (3-4 hours drive from home). Don't bemoan us our little piece of heaven.
[I am not intending this to become an US vs UK debate. You have Bush, we have Blair - nuff said!!]
