From the rear, you can see how the hole for the license plate is not made for an american car, like the prototype:

But, from the front, it looks similar to a sebring.



From the side, it looks like nothing else on the road:

THANK YOU!!! i need to get a new bumper to eliminate the giant sebring grill

You guys are all nuts --I've enjoyed your comments far more than I enjoyed writing the post. I don't tipe too gud and a long piece takes me forever. Besides, it was really just some observations I've made while washing and waxing our black beauty over the past year.
As for describing a beautiful woman; I can't write about something I don't understand.
Regarding cigarettes, stogeys, and socks, y'all just keep it up and I'll sit back and enjoy. Besides, I prefer a lambskin mitt and a bucket of warm soapy water ...when my ride needs a thorough scrubbing.

I personally wish they made the XF about 1" wider on each side for the front and rear fenders.

Other than that the car is a pretty one.

The wide front fenders taper to the rear and (on the coupe) the roofline and side glass continue the taper right to the rear bumper. Meanwhile, the wide and muscular looking rear of the car tapers toward the front, disappearing completely at the side strakes. Adding tension and tautness to the skin is a finely creased edge that runs from the taillights to the front wheelwell. As the dividing line between the two tapers, this edge reveals the exact point where the two shapes intersect right below the side mirrors. Here, seen as an enlongated "x," the horizontal top surface of the rear fender suddenly inverts to form the shadow detail above the strake. Also, the raised ridge that runs from the front splitter to the rear bumper is like the spine of an animal, a beast ready to spring forward. From bumper to bumper the designers have integrated these two shapes into a single form that is the embodiment of power, speed, and grace. I find it absolutely beautiful from every angle.
DITTO I love it too

head first down the nose is the only way this car looks "normal".
From the back I think it beats the Nissan "z" and the 2-dr Infinity.

I think the SLK is far less attractive from the rear. Call me biased!

LOL touche FP

Oh thought I'd mention that after I did the Renntech intake and Borla exhaust the car sounds freakin sick dude. If you can get your hands on the Borla do it, its not quite at all, I don't understand what people were talking about. If fact the drone at 2k is a little loud for my tastes but when you nail it with the intake noise. Holy freakin cripes its bad ***.

I think I like how it looks when I'm sitting in the drivers seat.

My thoughts exactly. That wasn't a choice in the poll, but that's what I would have said. You get a view of both the side and rear, which are combined the best views.
