Unhappy Uh-oh, new Daily Mail article on XF

From today's Daily Mail, saying XF one of "underwhelming and atrocious models from the last two decades". Though I just sold mine--please buy my snow tires somebody!

Some people have no taste, others just leave you with a bad taste in your mouth. It's kind of like art, very subjective. One may pay a million dollars for something, others look at as a preschoolers best effort. My child's is priceless an yours is, well, "God love it's little heart!"

Car & Driver Liked it well enough. They're just beating the same dead horse concerning the Crossfire, who hasn't heard this before? And factually they could not be more wrong, The Crossfire is well on its way to becoming a collectible classic.
Someone asks about and/or complements my car almost every time I drive mine. I don't even see another Crossfire once a month in traffic.
They're British and their relevance ended over 200 years ago. They decimated their own auto industry in the 1970s-1990s because they built such garbage the dimwits who lived in blighty didn't even buy them. They even drive on the wrong side of the road. What did you expect originality in this article? Their just beating the same dead horse concerning the Crossfire. Daimler-Chrysler was the problem, not the car.

You are out by 100 years, but what the heck.
Dimwits? We may see who the dimwits are after your election.
China is taking over global power from the US, you should have been thinking of that when you purchased all that stuff a Walmart. All that money to arm them, support their athletes, etc. The world is upside down.

Dimwits on both sides of the ocean, though over here many will vote for that loser Trump which just affirms their stupidity. China has ambitions as you say but they are a long, long, long way from realizing them in spite of how ever many coral reef islands they turn into military bases.

All the article is saying is that you can be a ******** and a moto journalist at the same time!

Why would you pay any attention to Daily Mail? It's mostly garbage anyways. I bet they're going to tell us about how great the new Civic is, or how amazing the new Ford (insert model name here) is the hottest thing on the road.

I was a fan of the 1989 Scorpio as well, an innovative, brave car.

China spends less on the military because all their gear is made in China and the personnel are paid peanuts.
They will also send in 100,000 soldiers into a battle expecting to end up with 5,000 survivors. See the Korean war for their tactics.
Money does not win wars, an inexhaustible and determined force will win in the end. A look at recent history proves this.

Angry Re: Uh-oh, new Daily Mail article on XF

I thought this was a car form, not a political one.

No kidding! Just like American politics, some people here are above the law and can do or say what they want.
