I’m not positive, Lance, but I believe the new X-Types have a Xenon option.
Maybe someone can confirm, but you may be indirectly getting your wish. The
reason I think so is -
This past Friday evening, I had a vehicle come up on me very quickly as I neared
the end of a local expressway. I noticed it from very far away in my rear view
mirror as the headlights caught my eye. They looked to have a different “glow”.
If I was to give it a one word description, I’d say they looked “Nuclear” -
Really stood out from the rest of the traffic. My first thought was “Hmmm. That
looks neat. Wonder what this is coming up.” I couldn’t make out what it was
until after turning off the expressway. The vehicle passed me forthwith - Dark
Colored X-type w/ the temporary tags still on. Only the second one I’ve seen on
the road outside of the showroom.
There was really something different and “special” about those headlights,
that’s why I was thinking they were Xenon.
Oh - My compliments on your good automobile taste - XKs and 911s - and
sucessfully making a “non Jag” comparrision w/o stomping even a tiny bit of
someone’s feelings - even if it only was about headlamps !
Kind Regards,
