I would never buy a car from a car company called Tata. It just wouldn't feel right. "Hey wanna ride in my Tata X300"

What, Ford couldn't get a bid out of Yugo and Trabant?

Unbelievable that Jaguar is owned by India. Think of it's roots and prestige and how it has came long through the years of snobbish luxury......... now it's owned by India.

At one time early in the 20th century, 50% of all Rolls Royce cars sold went to Maharajas in India - so luxury cars have long been appreciated on the sub-continent.

Doesn't matter who owns Jag, IMO, as long as they keep that nice Burled Walnut wood and Connally leather......that is what has always made a Jag a Jag. Unfortunately, the new XK series seems to be doing away with the traditional wood......some versions hame metallic trim.

I guess that's how Ford is going to say good-bye to Jaguar......Ta-Ta.

well guys....i know we have a lot of indians in this country...but all of a sudden now we have a lot of indian cars as well.....lol....land rover and jaguar are in much better hands....ford just messed up the jaguar name plate by making it another mercury.....ford just didnt deserve to have land rover to begin with...thank god for that....tata is a very reputable indian company...almost like gm of america with the work ethics of toyota......not as bad as you guys think it going to be!!!....i guess we all wait and see...what happens??

Lil4X

Tradition, heritage, breeding, whatever you call it, Jag had it in spades. It looks like that's gone and forgotten.

Moving to India? Bye-bye Connolly hides . . .

Coconut

lol, TATA motors. lol

LexFather

Wow, to think the U.K used to own India and now Tata Motors bought 2 of its classic brands.

Big Andy

Why on earth would a change of ownership from US to Indian control affect tradition, heritage, breeding etc? Are you saying Indians appreciate these things less than Americans? BTW Connolly Leather company ceased trading in 2002.

lol...the reports are RIGHT guys...

If your comparing India to being close to a scrap yard in the middle east..You are sadly mistaken...

This may upset you a bit -- but the world's RICHEST MAN is Indian...and he was poor as hell ... not born rich...a truly self made man... Mukesh Ambani is his name if you care to google.

---I don't think being put in the hand of Tata is a good look for Jag BUT...I don't know why a few members seem to have such condescending views towards the country as a whole...

Here is the updated news....
