    Is it just me or do some articles appear between others that were already posted? I think it has happened a few times now (like this one).

    Does this mean LR vehicles will now become as reliable as Tata vehicles?

    What are they going to cover the seats with, since cow leather will no longer be possible? Maybe they’ll use kangaroo or camel hides – ( “so he tanned his hide when he died, Clyde, and that’s it hanging in the shed….” springs to mind for some reason )

    Tata will make a small fortune out of this aquisition, starting with a large one……..it’s been done before :)

    I hope so, LR’s reliability is absolutely lousy.

    Wow…This time LR is fetching billions…last time it got sold for $10….lol… and Yes, I agree with SM

    What about the $2500 Tata Nano, WORLD’s cheapest car end of story.

    Better and saffer than a still expensive $3k scooter

    WELL DONE INDIA, I TAKE MY HAT OFF TO YOU!

    Just maybe you guys CAN turn around Jag?

    Cheers

    F-O
