I consider this car as a limited production model that will become a classic, that's why I think many want to keep it away from the salt as much as possible. Although I agree with the winter we had this year you could have driven it and not seen too much salt at least in my area it only snowed a few days.

PS - Took out the XF last weekend, only problem I had was the brakes seem softer than when I put it in storage & the BAS EPS light cam on a couple times. I'm hoping storing it didn't gum up the brake fluid or cause some seals inthe system to fail... Anyone have a similar issue when they took theirs out of storage?
