The only car you should be considering is a D3 TDI, now I'm beginning to doubt your sanity too!
1. You get to keep quattro
2. Ben continues to service your car
3. You continue to attend the annual A8 Germany meets you love
4. Much much better build quality
I've been in a Jag XF, what a horrible cheap feeling interior. D3 all the way, say the word and Ian and the other D3 clan will keep a lookout for a good one for you.
See Ian's recent thread on his 24 hour experience with his new D3, he is getting 650 miles to a tank. You can probably pick one up for around £10k, and if your argument is, the Jag and Merc are slighter newer and come with a warranty. I can put you in touch with a decent warranty company that will cover your D3 for three years, and pay out without quibble.
