Since you already have a white 07 Pacifica, then looking out over the Crossfires hood should look pretty familiar to ya.
According to Motor Week TV, the performance of your old Acura is nearly identical to your Crossfire as well, so your new XF should "fit" you like an old pair of shoes....(track shoes that is).

Yeah, its a familiar view. Its kind of cool that one of my cars inspired the design of the other.
The Acura, using stats, sounds a little faster than the XF. They have an average of around 6.4 seconds to 60. I've even seen as low as 6.1 stock. I loved the engine in that thing. Such a wonderful piece. Smooth yet very racy. Revs built so easily. It poured out such a nice sound the higher the revs got. It had more horsepower than the XF, with 260 vs. 215, but it also weighed alot more at around 3,600lbs.
Regardless of stats, the XF feels so much faster. I was surprised at how well this thing moves with such modest hp/torque ratings. Definitely feels faster than the Acura. Gas mileage is about the same so far. I'll gladly trade the small sacrifice in acceleration for the handling of the XF. Never driven a car that sticks to the road like this thing! Its insane. Grip is everywhere.
I'm loving my Crossfire.
