Jaguar Land Rover moves North American HQ to New Jersey

06/10/2008, 10:39 AM

By Drew Johnson

Jaguar Land Rover has announced that it will be shifting its North American headquarters from Irvine, California to northern New Jersey. The company already has support operations in northern New Jersey and the move will put Jaguar and Land Rover closer to their home bases in the UK.

The company will give all 50 of its permanent employees the opportunity to make the move, according to Automotive News.

“For some time now we have been looking at consolidating our organization as it makes perfect business sense to have Jaguar and Land Rover back at its original location in New Jersey as we already have an existing set-up and facilities there,” Mike O’Driscoll, the managing director for Jaguar, said.

In addition to gaining some extra communication time through changing time zones, the move will allow for shorter flight times between the company’s UK and Mumbai, India — the location of Jaguar Land Rover’s new owners, Tata Motors — HQs. Flights to London will now take four hours less while flights to Mumbai will be cut by eight hours, largely because a layover is not necessary.

Companies everywhere are bailing on that feces-hole otherwise known as Crapofornia. Can’t say I blame them.

NJ has the largest Indian population outside of India… I wonder if that has something to do with it.

renzogtr, you are completely wrong: CrappingRoadRunner hates Americans as well. He basically hates everybody and everything except his momma. It’s a southern thing: they proud and tend to forget that they did loose to Yankees badly 150 years ago.

HemiRetard, there is a freedom of speech and freedom of hate. It is clearly to everyone that you do practicing the latter one.

I think the term “racist” is thrown around too loosely today buy a bunch of brainwashed liberals. What’s raist about what I said? Welcome to America, freedom of speech. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. For a bunch of “grown” men, alot of you are easily offended.

By the way, do you even know what “racist” means? If so, I’m white, so how can I be racist to another white? (Limey is slang for british in case you might have thought it was indian’s, those are camel jocks by way).

Lol, he used “grown” in quotes to denounce their comments/actions as if his were “grown” up to begin with. I hate when poser conservatives throw out the “liberal” comment as if making ignorant comments is a conservative principle… no, true conservatives [Regan] leave such things for liberal democrats.

You have no idea what racism is, aren’t you? Ethnic cleansing was conducted by white on white (and with identical DNA and even relatives). War crimes during WWII by Nazis in Europe and Japanese against other Asians were of the same race. Our own history was not exactly white on black or white on yellow: North and South was primarily white. There is a distinct difference between joke and hate. Your humor does not come through, your hate does.

“Hate is not quality of “grown” man.” Ok Confuscious. And to the victor, I didn’t intend to make any kind of condervative principle, you’re just being a geek wad and looking more into it that what’s there.

HemiRretard – you just being yourself: ignorant and arrogant asshole. You don’t know what VIctor does for living, but you labeling him “geek”. You must’ve been really on the bottom of your class in school, if everyone is a “geek” to you. You even did not go to a decent school, you poor brain bastard.

Ha! You dont even know what school I went to. Looks like a hit a funny bone. Grown men shouldn’t be as emotional as most of the cry babies in here. whaaaaaaaaa, you made fun of another “race”. The only thing that makes me hate people is stupid people’s brainless comments like the few above this post. So I guess I’m “racist” against nerds.

“I think the term “racist” is thrown around too loosely today buy a bunch of brainwashed liberals.” That comment there is what what inferred that you were stating that you were a conservative.. when a comment is so blantent as that there is no need to look more into what was said.

On the geek wad comment, lol, I men honestly come on, I feel as if I am in the 3rd grade rather than law school. But, I digress, call me a geek if you want, I attend one of the top ranked uni’s in the world, have a hot girlfriend and will make more money in a week than you will in 2 months when I’m done.

Cheers Xyunya.

I used to live in Queens and I didn’t see that many of them, but I never go to Richmond Hill or whereever they all live. I have a friend that lives in Woodbridge NJ and there are more Indians than regular Americans there.

If any of you jackasses are going to insult each other, at least check your spelling. Since we are on the topic of race, with Jaguar coming to NJ, will they do away with British Racing Green and replace that with Wop Racing Stripes and T-tops and curb feelers and free fuzzy dice? The Nav system talks to you like Tony Soprano, and knows where the bodies are buried. But it won’t go to Philly. Greaseballs.

Your turn to retort, NJ.

I agree … please check your spelling before posting, otherwise, you end up looking like ‘NoNameDufus’.

And ignore ‘Hemiroid’. He’s as worthless as ‘NoNameDufus’. Hey, tell me again how the Altima isn’t on the D platform, ****face?

What buisiness is it of yours (the jack@$$’s know who I’m talking about) which cars I like and dislike? I have my own opinions, deal with it. I don’t have to like everything you do. And I sure as hell don’t have to explain my views to a bunch of dickwads on the internet or anyone else for that matter. And racism refers to PEOPLE NOT PRODUCTS DUMB@$$! Why don’t you go pour your heart out to somebody about something that actually matters. I like the people trying to “get through to the world”. Give me a break, go back to work, if you even have a job.

HemiRetard, you don’t have opinions; you have delusion. It does not occur to you that except by two other psychopaths your delusions are not generally excepted? You go from nerds to geeks to Asians to limeys, is there anybody you do like? I don’t mean yourself every 30 minutes, that’s self evident.

‘Hemiroid’, ****face, read it and weep, waste of a life … “The Altima Coupe, as part of the fourth-generation Altima design, utilizes Nissan’s all-new, highly acclaimed “D” platform with increased body rigidity and a redesigned suspension. This new platform was developed with the objective of making Altima one of the best performing large front-wheel drive vehicles available globally.”

Go back to mopping the floor, then go **** yourself, loser. I own you.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

You guys are missing the point. What is funny is that all the HR guys from Warwick or Gaydon HQ in the UK just worked there for years, just to be the first ones to grab the position openings in California, keep’em for themselve to be the only candidates considered for the job. They then went on to live the California dream in OC while more qualified JLR employes were never even aware of the opportunities. I gues NJ is a bit of let down now :-) but with a bit of luck they might suck up to their former Ford master and get a job in MI.

If the greaseball wops in NJ can’t get a job at Jag, maybe they could head to Motor City and get a part time job building Merc’s. Just don’t tell the meatballs that Merc will be dead in 4 years; but that is actually perfect. By then, most of the dirty wops will be dead from cardiac arrest anyways from all the steak and peppers sandwiches. Out.

Wonder if Jag will build a plant here to offset the costs of their vehicles (Same as VW, Audi and a number of companies want to do).
