No never do I let the stupidity of others change my thoughts! I just retired from the US Army after 25 years and bought an '04 white XF for the sheer beauty of the cars lines! I had a 55 year old walk up to the car and say it was so unique and sexy that he has to buy one! So don't let anyone influence your feelings about what you liked in the car. If I learned anything as a soldier it was to always stick to your guns!
