Glad to see your car getting back to its former glory!
Is that a Jaguar X-type in the background (behind yours)? How is the US opinion of that? Over here, it is very cheap and being based on the low-budget Ford Mondeo really puts people off. Jaguar are damaging their image and soon may not even have much of one. They should at least make their *first* small car UNBEATABLEY good, at nearly any expense (a la 190E), get the respect for it and acknowledgement of it being a true Jaguar. Once its accepted, you can allow this sort of cost cutting (W202 C-class quality, anyone?)
Which causes problems again - in the UK, many people bought the W202 C-class when it was launched in.. 1993 (?), and then took the cars back to the dealers wanting their 190Es back.
I think Jaguars image is stronger in America than the UK though.
later!
EDIT: the S80 is a disappointment too? All the new Volvos I've driven have been. I thought quality, ride, refinement, stability etc would be real strongpoints for them, but they were never very good to me.
