Why did I buy the car? Good question since I didn't NEED it.

Took it for a drive a while back. Very nice. Pondered the decision to unload my 98 Cobra. Hmmm...305 HP or looks and handling? 305 HP or looks and handling? A few weeks go by Saw all the favorable posts on this forum. Took another drive. Saw the $3000 chrysler incentive.rebate/cash. Talked to the dealer about trade-in value. Thought some more. Done.

Now the Cobra sits in the snow at the dealer, and the XF is in the garage. Thanks to all the folks who contributed to this decision. I am thrilled.
