"Unions in the United Kingdom are seeking assurances that the sale would not affect employment levels. Combined, Jaguar and Land Rover employ about 15,300 in the U.K."

At least Brits are smart...
American Employers and Labor Unions just let companies go over sea's leaving entire city's in the US become unemployment hubs.

Now we wonder why there is a recession.

LOL!

Well, I have owned quite a number of them over the years, still have 2. Fortd has improved the reliablity quite a bit. Not sure if I like the idea of it being Indian owned. Unless they leave ALL the manufacturing in England

An old employee bought one, he had no issues so I bought one.

I had no issues and my brother in law bought one.

3 of the same model, age range of 5 years. Identical cars, no issues what so ever.

Mine is for sale and someone just stopped by to look at it. I will hate to see it go.

If the new companies keeps things as they are, I don't see this being an issue for Jaguar or most that own them.

They used to suck for reliability. Has that changed at all in recent years?

u wrote - "Dont like the sound of this - Jaguar to be bought by Indian Co.".

From that very link it states:

"Cash-hungry Ford lost $12.6 billion last year and expects to burn up to $14B until 2009".

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.

No point in trying to make sense...cause most people automatically see if its not a US/UK company they must be shit....yet its the the same US/UK companies looking in Asia for help and bailing out...funny how that works

Gut reaction - 15,000 jobs in the UK at risk - a premier brand going to a country that is best known for cheap mass production (Corus Steel for instance).

I suspect you do so elaberate on yours.

I was clear that I dont think an Indian company can sustain a premier brand like Jaguar.

This is a forum - we have conversations about many subjects. "Your point?" isnt really a great argument.

Tell me why I am wrong, I will be happy to listen. You may even change my mind.

Sarah_Jayne · 01-04-2008, 04:48 AM

I live across the river from the big Ford plant in Essex. A lot of people in my town worked there and they have felt the pinch big time. Just another sign that the UK is no longer a manufacturing economy..for good or for bad.
