Johnnyblaze hasn’t seen the new Lacrosse apparently. This is a cheap POS next to that car.

And screw what the haters say about the XF, I think it’s gorgeous.

Ford sold ‘em. Get over it . Be thankful they’re still a viable alternative to the Germans and the Japanese. Funny though how some niche players are among the few prospering and those who are trying to be all things to all people are the ones with their heads looking up.

I wish Ford could have still kept Jaguar. Oh well, good for Jaguar.

Jaguar is in a good position now becuase they’ve already trimmed down their own product fat. With the XFR and refreshed XKR coming out, not to mention the next XJ in the pipeline, they should be posting growth in 09 and 10 as well.

Their success in 2008 was due to some aggressiveness in their designs…plain a simple.

^ The numbers were for 2008. Ford sold them during 2008. Which means that they are the ones responsible for the sales and marketing to make Jaguar a profitable company. They just needed the cash because of slowing auto market. Lets just hope no one finds a Ford key under the leather of their new XF though, like the Aston story, lol.

this proves it, if you want to be successful you have to be owned by ford then let go, aston did it (well kinda until lately, but thats beside the point)
