I was looking at the 350z and the RX8. Unlike alot of people here, the XF was my first choice even though it was the most expensive. If there was a car that I was going to "settle" for, it would have been the RX8. Styling and rareness factor eventually made my decision over the 350z.

I guess what I'm saying is that there are much better cars out there with much higher prices even even some comparable cars at the same price. Either way, the XF is a damn good car for ~30k.
