I agree totally. The XF Ghia interior made you feel special. I just don't think there's enough differentiation in the interiors of modern cars. Eg going from an XT to a G6E is not the massive difference that it used to be.

The XF Ghia is still one car I would own and drive around now if I had to own an older car. They were such a nice car. But they're getting hard to find these days.
I agree with eb2monty, there's definitely not much difference between the models these days compared to the older ones like the X & E series'.

Having owned both the XF and EA II ghia's, they were both nice cars but the 4 speed box dropped fuel consumption by heaps. Win to EA.
