Anybody could buy them, as long as they had the money. The global car industry is on... Full article...

Now, I just think it's OK. I should have driven the XFR before I started talking about performance. This car bolts like lightening while keeping the same luxurious demeanor as its sibling that lacks an R at the end of its name.
