Tata wants Land Rover, not Jaguar

I actually would hope Fiat buys Jaguar.

I think it would be great if Alfa Romeo's used the RWD platforms of Jaguar's. There have been talks of this in the auto news; better yet if Alfa Romeo returns to North America. My two favourite automakers as one company. I think both brands could learn from each other.... seeing as they both make cars for passionate individuals.

The word that I heard is that Tata wants Land Rover, but will keep Jaguar for a while before putting it on the market. The good news is that the only other (than Tata) interested party in Jaguar was Fiat. The purchase of Jag would give them a ready-made dealership network for their full line of cars, which have been out of this country since the Jap-buggies took over. Jag may or may not survive that purchase but, remember, Fiat also owns Ferrari. . .

This is a bad stat - where did you get it?

if you look at Ford US Sales Reports, Land Rover sales are holding up far better than Jaguar which has been loosing 30% a year in North America...

Perhaps we made a mistake in not buying stacks of Ford stock and telling Ford what to do right with the marque. If we could buy Jag stock I would. Didn't Harley/Davidson and Triumph (motorbikes) do a managment buy-out with dedicated owners? They look ok today.

and where can I borrow legitimately against my two precious Jags? Certainly NOT at one of those Title Loan places, they are a scam!

Come on J.A.M. - - - surely you can borrow something against those two sweet looking cats in you avatar . . . . . . !

In the mean time I'll kick in a few grand. Wouldn't be my first bad investment - - but it might get me an F Type which wouldn't be a bad dividend!

errr, cough, cough, I can afford $10. for the time being, so that's $1,010.00 in the basket.

We should start the collection, I will put in the first thousand.

If all the Jaguar owners, dealers and workers put their life savings in a basket, they could buy the whole company and get the F Type built already.

If all Jaguar owners around the world, interested in saving Jaguar, each put $10.00 in a basket, we can try to save Jaguar. If it doesn't happen after all the money is counted, then I'm out of ideas.

That's surprise as I recall that Land Rover had very poor JD Power reviews as opposed to Jaguars. From a business point of view, however, LR is profitable.
