What Happens Next at Land Rover and Jaguar?
March 27, 2008
I agree with Mustang5507, Ford has done a lot to help both companies. Land Rover received sex appeal and a US market, say what you want but Americans love cars, and we buy a lot of them. Jaguar suffered the most when Ford switched their entire focus to building monster SUVs in the late 90s and when the market fell out, they were sunk. Enter Tata. What will happen? Who knows, headlines like ???World Cheapest Car??? are slightly less than inspiring, but you can???t completely discount them for that! Jaguar has one heavy weight, his name, Ian Callum, arguably one of the best in the business. If Tata takes their profits from putting Asia on wheels, and push it toward Jaguar and Land Rover, watch out! I realize the timeline is slightly speculative, but it looks promising. New V8 to be shared, Good. X-type dead, GREAT. XF Coupe, SERIOUSLY? If you have the F-Type, XF Coupe, and XK, scrap the sedans and declare war on Aston Martin. As far as the XJ, take a hint from baseball, Juice it up! A flag ship should say MOVE IT OR LOOSE IT, not if you don???t move I will be forced to drive underneath you. Spy Shots indicate a larger frame, I guess we will have to wait and see!
