Well, I will admit that I work from home, so I don't do a lot of "daily driving" for work. If the roads are snow and salt free, I'll drive the XF. For other days (such as today and our 1' of snow) I have a beater '01 Jeep Cherokee. 105k miles and still runs like a champ and the paint is not too shabby. Not as sexy as an Audi, but still says DaimlerChrysler on the door.
