I stand corrected. There are apparently 7 XFs in Canada. I remember 1 in South Korea. There are rather large contingents in Australia and the UK. There are also a couple in Asia and in Africa.

You won't go far wrong if you think of this car as an 03 SLK with body by Detroit. The car was born back when Mercedes owned Chrysler. When Mercedes decided to move on there was really no one that wanted to claim it. Except us. Many of us found it by accident. I never saw an ad in print or on the tube. The dealer did not even have any brochures when I bought. Chrysler dealers, for the most part, know next to nothing about it. Mercedes dealers, for the most part, will not touch it. Many use a good independent that deals with German cars.

It has good air conditioning. Lots of owners from the southern states. No complaints.

It is a better track car than I am a driver. I have hit triple digits on the back straight at Road America. Had fun with it on the Dragon a couple times. I think of it as a nice road car that is fairly competent in the twisties.
