Talking of Strength I drove a Jag XF R Sport today (8 Speed flappy paddle Sport Auto) which was on filthy 20" Rims but the ride quality and rigidity was exceptionally good as was the handling for such a large saloon, but a lot of the Bodywork uses aluminium as the primary component of the body structure and chassis and the bodyside panel is a single aluminium pressing.
