Dudes managements the same...Just new owners. Tata is one of the best companies in the world, 6th most reputed company in the WORLD to be exact. One of the most ethical, philanthropic all round awesome company with principals.

Read-up a little about the TATA's and their legacy and trust me dude you will a new found respect for the 'new management'' at RR and Jag

Yes sorry to really hijack this thread, but what is this Eurosunday? Where is it held? PM me please

Ehh Idk all I know is that this lady is a Haron lol. She drives an old Jag though, Jag XJ I think, one of those like 2002 models. She's not picky, she's 90 years old hehe

Nvm I just read your reply lol. I'll check that website out
So I drove by the dealership on my way home from dinner with the family tonight, and we pulled in the lot, and inquired about the Enzo. Apparently the owner's good friend owns the car, and has like 7 other Ferrari's, and he let Weber keep it for show. This person that is friends with the owner of Weber was number 2 at Pelco. Or something like that, I'm going back to get a closer look, and more information.

That "ranking of reputed" companies is meaningless... The survey is nothing more than a marketing tool for "Reputation Institute is a private advisory firm specialising in corporate reputation management and Global Purse".

Last I read TATA was losing many millions on Jaguar/Land Rover.

Your point being???

The point I was trying to make is that I find it odd that just because TATA purchased JLR some of you folkes have doubts... I wonder why; don't judge TATA because they are an Indian complany man, judje them if they are doing a poor job managing JLR... which they are not.

I agree TATA's are loosing money over the purchase considering the mammoth debt they inherited by buying JLR but they are constantly trying to better the company by pumping fresh capital rather than going begging to the govt in their corporate jets.

I think you get my point dude :thumbsdown:

Tata raises $750M to help pay off JLR debt

Tata is a very successful and respected company. And it saved both Jaguar and LR from what could have been the trash heap of dead companies. I wish Tata well. The automotive world would be a lot emptier without Jaguar and Land Rover.

Dude, the cheerleading for TATA from certain corners is a bit much. And obviously heavily biased...

This is not the first time when someone questions the new ownership of Jaguar/RR (and rightly so since TATA has had zero presence on the luxury car world stage until now) that a select few come out to tell us all how WONDERFULL TATA is.

Why can't I find US sales data for Jaguar? Wards automotive says TATA will no longer release US sales figures, why? Because they are dropping like a stone. I have seen exactly one new XF on the road in the last year, ONE.

I like the new RR and if I had money to burn I would consider one (as a lease) but anyone who is considering buying a Jaguar or RR has to be concerned about the long term viability of the brand in the US. This is evident in the horrendous depreciation on Jaguars.
