Audi A5 or Jaguar XF?

A very simple question. Which, in your opinion, is the better car - an Audi A5 or a Jaguar XF? I currently have an A4 S line which I am looking to replace.

Not so straightforward. At the lower end, an XF 2.2 diesel competes with the A5. At the upper end, an XF 3.0 diesel competes with the A7. Another reader paid about £75,000 for an A7 + extras and is delighted with it.
