How about the Indian Motorcycle Company?

Both brands will REALLY go to **** if this happens!

Can’t be any worse than before.

That is a scary thought, I can see why they are interested tho, they have money and they love Land Rovers. That would be strange to see an Indian firm buy them. I dunno if i like the sound of that.

Great, I can see it now:
Now at you local Jaguar dealership, the Jaguar Ambassador. Available in any color you want as long as it’s white…

Indian Motorcycle is the infamous Bajaj that’s been polluting many third world countries for generations.

Indians runnning two highly prestigious car companies??? haha what is this??? some kind of a joke??

Yawn.

Was all of India under colonial control, or was it just the city of Bombay(Mumbai)? Maybe they’ll just supply cash and let Jaguar-Land Rover do their own thing? It’s an interesting turn; just stay focused on the quality gents.

Ya, this is like Toyota owning Ferrari. No connection whatsoever. Though it’s kinda funny that an Indian company would own a British one, considering the long-time colony rule of the Brits down there lol.

Interesting! This is sweet revenge for the Indians from the colonial days.

ford just keep the damn things, they are better than ever now, dont let them go to hell.

Given India’s rising economy it’s really not surprising to see they’re following China’s footsteps in investing strategies. Of course in this case it sounds more like colonial revenge, ha ha!

Maybe its all the outsourcing headaches I’ve had over the years. Quality is one word I would not associate with India. Cheap labor and sub par products is all I have received with my dealings. If these brands get tied up with Indian companies I would bet on seeing the lowest quality LR/Jag products the world has ever seen. Only place where I have received lower quality products has been from China – maybe SAIC should look into buying LR\Jag to go with their Rovers.

I’m surprised the proud British investment capital companies don’t see this as an opportunity to bring ownership of the brands they like to claim as their own back home.

lp640 u racist bastard just beacuse their indians doesnt mean their stupid or poor u really are a piece of ****.

^same for you zurus

same for me? thats all you have to say same for me nothing i aint no racist mother****er like you

Zurus… not that I’m racist, but products that come from China and India are most commonly junk. No offense meant, but I know I have a hell of a time dealing with Dell Service, which is located in India. Recently quite a few appliances I had bought broke… which I found a few minor parts were produced in India, which was the cause of them not working.
If I was you Zurus, I’d simply leave. I have not seen one simple, clear minded comment on cars from you, all you do is go forum to forum and criticize the every word of LP640 and Aston Martin.

I hope to see Ford keep Land Rover and Jaguar… Tweak Land Rovers quality conceptions.
Jaguar has probably the most richest history in the automobile world. Not to mention Jaguar has lot’s of technologies that could be used to improve FoMoCo, if the costs were cut down of those existing technologies.

dude wtf wrong with you i never said anything bad about aston martin he started it and al you do is criticize me come on stop it lp640 is a piece of **** he deserves it so why dont u just leave me alone cause i never did anything to you ok?

and yea indian and chinese products might be trash but still they could have a chance

Guys, a company with enough money to buy Land Rover and Jaguar is not ****ing around. These guys aren’t idiots, I’m sure they’re crack businesspeople with the know-how necessary to sell a product. They’re not going to buy the companies and destroy them, they know better. How do you think they got to that level in the first place?

i knind of agree SLIGHTLY with zurus, sometimes reading the constant bantering and negativity can get to you, but it is all fun and games when this stuff is typed, so chill out a little zurus (but dont stop the insults, i love that part).

finally someone with sense deanster thats wat i was trying to say

lol cts driver thx honestly i just made my account cause he pisses me off so bad i just want to insult him

dude wtf wrong with you i never said anything bad about aston martin he started it and al you do is criticize me come on stop it lp640 is a piece of **** he deserves it so why dont u just leave me alone cause i never did anything to you ok?

“wah wah wah look at me im zurus wah wah i cant handle the fact that other people have opinions anD mine is worthless wah wah i want a wowwipop mummy wah wah”

aaaaawwwwwwwwwww did i make you cry zurus aaaaaawwwwww GET OVER IT LITTLE BITCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes but regardless Deanster, I don’t believe Tata motors would have the experience to turn Jaguar around. Tata motors creates people transporters, such as buses, and currently has an agreement with MDI to produce the “air car”, but it has very little experience with a luxury brand such as Jaguar. Neither do I feel they’d have the design capability, the marketing, or quality if built in India, as Jaguar is expected to par up with.

The passenger cars Tata motors currently builds I feel are copies of other cars.
Tata Sumo? Mercedes Benz G-Class.
Mahindra Bolero? The front end is almost identical to the Jeep Wrangler, with the rest of the body being simply a box.
The one car Mahindra creates that is even unique to me is the Mahindra Logan… which was created in cooperation with Renault.

A few of Tata motors and Mahindra’s models have been praised for reliability, while from what I read many others have been condemned for it. I haven’t personally experienced any of these, and I don’t believe I want to.

But I would rather the brands fall into the hands of an auto manufacturer that has experience producing passenger cars, has a clear history of reliability, and has available designers that have shown they can design such a car.

Well, they’re ****ED… both of them.

Recruit? With all due respect, I’m just hear to talk about cars. I had commented 7 hours after lp640 in the first place. They make some point blank, short and stupid comments sometimes but I haven’t seen you post a single comment related to cars. I’m not going to fall into an argument, I simply suggest you post about cars- leave the criticism to LLN’s moderators. That’s what we’re all on the forum for in the first place, note “Car news for enthusiasts- Left Lane News”

ok ijayc i get wat ur saying but i made my aco**** to insult him but ok sorry then ill try and calm down and talk about cars

^^^thats what made me start my account, i read lln for several months before i wanted to barf and started an account just to tell one person my opinion, now im addicted. the fact that we can insult each other is what keeps most of us here, for a boring clean forum i would still be talking to the idiots on the motor trend forum. just add a little insult now and then while talking cars.
some of the lines people come up with here are beter than comedy central.

Mahindra is just desperate to get in the US market somehow, and it wants to use Jaguar/Land Rover to do this. It is trying to shove the ugly Scorpio & some pickup into the US market in about a year. It probably wont make it past crash and emissions tests. It wants bragging rights. Jaguar and Land Rover is the only way it can get here.

everyone hates me zurus?? i didnt come here to make friends its a car website if you want to make friends then im sure there are a lot of paedophiles on the net who would be more than happy to make your aqcuaintance.

lp640 exactly i didt come here to make friends so what but everyone sitll hates you

really zurus????? wow im losing sleep at night, im really worried and scared that everyone hates me (!) *sarcasm*

i now you dont (care) but thats not good in life to be seen like that but u now what lp640 i will stop this right here.

NO no no, I’m quite sure you’re the helmet-polishing little knobgobbler, you asspacking gutterslut. Go back to the village and choke on something, Mkay?

thats ur best line? you suck ass!

OH DAMN I JUST GOT BITCH SLAPPED.

i meant deanster not you lol

deanster if i am 13 years old and you play like your some mature old guy wtf are you doing fighting with little kids dont you have better stuff to do?

1. You guys sound like a bunch of pre-pubescent girls.

2. The ignorance exhibitied in this thread is exactly the reason why the Chinese and Indians are going to rule the world. Retarded Americans don’t know squat about those countries, hell most can’t even find them on a map, and because of this we are in TROUBLE. They have a BILLION or so people and their levels of technology and manufacturing are EXPLODING. Their kids are studying to be engineers and scientists, ours are mastering xbox 360.

3. Tata isn’t just a car company it’s huge mulitnational corporation. For example Tata steel is one of world’s 5 largest producers of steel. Once again pull your heads out of your asses and stop underestimating people based of ingorance and racism.

YOU NEVER KNOW….MAYBE THE INDIANS ARE THE ONE TO TURN JAGUAR AND LAND ROVER AROUND.
