I can understand LRs being difficult to sell during these fiscally-tight times and also Jaguar. That said, the prestige Shagwar brand now has in place the two brilliant new-era XF and XK modesl and is slowly readying their mainstay X/XJ resurgence, so why they are struggling to keep afloat seems to be more so a problem of inexperienced Tata mangement than anything else.

Perhaps now Tata have realized why they were sold in the first place!

Johnny, here a thought: what if they screw more often? Population explosion and need for Nanos! Wait error of my ways, it already happened: billion of them.

Tata doesn’t know anything about running a Luxury car company. They just bought these companies and now they’re firing everybody?

I think a Land Rover Nano is a great idea Johnny, what with the RR edition of the Mini coming out now.

I also think a Maybach version of a Geely makes sense.

But they could offer each one with a high profit accessory package like go-fast racing stripes and chrome wheels etc. Vroom Vroom The Nano GT It’ll sell like hotcakes

Or make a Nano Vanden Plas edition

Gonna have to move a lot of Nanos to make that up. What kind of profit margin do you think they make on a Nano- 10,000 Rupee or so? That’s a little over $200 US per car so they’re going to have sell at least a couple million Nanos to make up that 465 million. Could take weeks.
