Well….. racist ???? certainly seems so…..considering all the arguments against a “third world” country jibes…for god’s sake…jaguar was bleeding anyways under “first world” shining american management…..the best in the world

I agree James F Jag and Land Rover probably go down.I mean Ford is an long estabished vehicle manufacturer with global history.Tara a emerging car company coming from the third world country(maybe second world country now).I would excpect jag and rover to go down until they sought out the early manufacturing bugs

I got blasted by someone when I made my comments about my fears of Jag and Rover a couple of months ago – when Tata were set to take over..

I commented that Jag and Rover would most likely go DOWN and I still believe this.

As the comments said, Ford are still supplying engines and parts – FOR NOW.. I dont think this is a long term contractual agreement (I could be wrong) – and if this is the case, OK the brands may not suffer in the short term – but I still wonder what will happen to Jag in particular in say 10 years time? (I admit, I prefer the pre-Ford Jags of old over current anyway – a little traditional when it comes to Jag for me)

Any thoughts?

Take off your blinkers, cobra – Ford makes a good loss overall. This means that they sell NOTHING at a profit, simple deduction really.

The fact that Tata is a large, successful company just makes Ford look even more worthless, because it’s a large, money losing company. Are you following?

What a Reckless guess Reckless, where is your evidence Ford will sell engines at a loss, profits should be made in India because billions live there not all of India is third world… TATA is a conglomerate of companys and makes some of our large business small indeed..

If Ford keeps supplying the engines, they will do so at a loss.

Anyone ever tried to make a profit selling anything to an Indian ??

Awww well lets see what happens in the future, I think the die hards will turn away from Jags made by Indians. As for Land Rover I hope Tata continue where Ford left off and invest in the future products.

I’m making a comment before this post gets overrun by Dingo and TP.

So Ford no longer own Jag and Land Rover but they still supply Tata with the engines. Is that what’s going to be happening now?
