ENOUGH! Guys, please STOP!

Yes the Indians are here and on the go, fantastic! This is a 4×4 review so lets stick to it.

Freelander-2 as a 4 wheel drive is a great vehicle, but in my opinion is currently badged with reliability issues that existed with its predecessor (previous model), given it has a great engine, slightly overpriced for the brand and so forth, question is how will it compete with the Tiguan, Audi Q5, Volvo XC60 and also now a diesel Nissan X-Trail here down under. Any comments?

Hey dudes chill. I luv Indian food massively and lets just play all the BS down as good may come of this as the car landscape is changing. Only a true bonehead is stuck in mud thinking otherwise!

Whats the point
& ALL RACIST, BONEHEADED BRITISH

the mo***er fu**er britts who had many fathers & many
mothers (still now) killed billions of helpless, poor
indians just for their fun.
once a sign said “DOGS & INDIANC ARE NOT ALLOWED”
NOW PAY BACK TIME U britts

the real issue is what exactly caused Land
Rover & Jaguar (two of the world’s most distinguishable
brands) to go down this road
THE PURE ,THE ONE , THE ONES WHO STILL NEED QUEEN
THE BRITISH THEMSELVES

I can feel the frustration among western minds.Tata is a business empire having more than 100 years history.Whos is Britan’s richest Individau?Answer is Mittal…Again an Indian.We have suffered a lot from the British Looters.21St Century is for the developing world.Instead of scratching your own head ,save the spoiled young geneartaion ,buying alcohol and drugs spending from Credit cards.You have plenty of your own problems to sort out.Can you lead a single day with out using a Chinese product?Happy to see a desparate west in Modern century…Your bad days are still more ahead …LOL…

Hi David

Indians are also renowned for inventing “0″ (the number where integers start)… not just that

Just to let you know… it is one of the FASTEST growing economy… and that cant happen with low quality craftmanship of indian workers… but that can happen with willingness to improve the quality.. and indians are doing that…

You talking about low quality of indian work??? you don’t even make anything by yourself in Australia.. ohh sorry.. yes you do… your own VegeMate.. but thats it??

do you have any famous australian enterpreneur? you might be having one or two but thats it….

talking about automobiles, have you ever heard of enfield?? it is developed in India these days and is sold throughout the world… in australia too..

compare our mahindra scorpia 4wd, tata safari with your 4wds.. you will come to know what power is?

I think any Indian company will be the death blow to both Jaguar and Land Rover. I was looking at buying the new Jaguar FX, but this news has certainly dampened my enthusiasm for this brand.
I can’t imagine any Indian company adding any value to a Jaguar — to my mind, Indians are only known for low quality, shoddy workmanship.
And Tata is mainly receiving kudos for producing the cheapest car in the world. Hardly the criteria needed to make a success of Jaguar.

Ken you must be a bit of a Dingo not wanting Land Rover around. Yep they are expensive but they are bloody good.
I don’t think they will disappear at least for a while, a lack of investment will startle their progress. Pity

I’m not surprised that Tata bid for Jaguar, I remember a warm night in Dehli in 1973 when he picked us up in an immaculate white MK X. At the time India had a serious foreign currency issue and spare parts would have been unobtainable. When I asked him how he managed he just smiled and said that the apprentices at the works are always needing projects, they had recently manufactured a crown wheel and pinion set from drawings kindly supplied by Browns Lane.

Great dinner too!
