The S TYpe R is a real disappointment in my book. Ford managed to compromise the rear diff. with something from one of their trucks or something. The outside is unappealing, and it is dog slow. In the U.S. it tested in the low 14s. Tiff from Top Gear didn't like it either.

I think they had to toss Jag. a bone to keep their advertising relationship up or something, so they threw out the long distance cruiser thing. I totally agree on the M5 driving comfort.
