They are starting to can programs which is never good news.

No need to dilute both brands. I’m glad that Tata realizes they also purchased Land Rover, which is generally dualled with Jaguar in many showrooms anyway. No need to dilute both brands.

Don't think so , look at the new X6 it sold out. I also suspect the hybrid version of it will also sell out. It's about what will sell not what the purists think the brand should be. “Good, I think we might see BMW, for one, catch something of a cold for stretching themselves a little too thin.”

In my humble opinion Jaguar should be three or four core vehicles. Trouble is a car company with an accountant at the helm is almost always doomed to failure, I can picture a load of suits telling him how if they broadened the brand core values into divergent sectors it would mean an increase in market share and brand awareness, increasing profits five fold. And then the big accounting ledger in his head would get all excited and he's end up spreading Jaguars resources so thin, because to actually employ more people to all the extra work would offend the great accounting god, that when it finally reached breaking point the pieces would be that small they'd just disappear into little puffs of smoke, probably microseconds after he'd just awarded himself a 30% pay rise and an 150% productivity bonus.
