From that very link it states:

What exactly is it that you don't like?



Tata's probably the best option Jaguar has, as they actually have an interest in developing the brand and its products for the long term, unlike a strip-and-flip private equity operation.

They also have tons of money to invest in R&D and will keep major operations in the UK, which is why the labor unions endorsed their bid. Tata's successfully pulled off deals much larger than Jaguar/Land Rover, like Corus Steel, and if anything their resources should be quite helpful for JLR.
