Disclaimer & comment rulesjaguar, rover and land rover were crap when they were british.
Aug 18th, 2014 - 01:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0at least they are more or less profitable with the indians.
more or less the same with rolls royce and bentley.
they were the typical british cars with outdated technology, outdated design and no reliability.
if you want a car, buy a german one, or an italian, spanish, french, argentinian, whatever except british.

Aug 18th, 2014 - 02:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And just where does this genius think the the technology exists that designs, builds and exports these cars?
India!
Tosser.
People buy them because of what they are, British luxury cars.
Ask your friends the Chinese.
The INDIANS own Jaguar and Land Rover???
Aug 18th, 2014 - 04:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Now that's what I call history having the ultimate sense of irony.
But, the Indians DONT have the technology to make Jags and LRs. And, guess who taught BMW and VW to make cars after WWII.
Aug 18th, 2014 - 06:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You idiots know diddly squat. Who built your railways, and who failed to maintain and update them?
RGland is a joke, you need deflections, but… we know whats what.

the indians have more technology than little britain in every aspect of the industry, by far.
and the germans were using the automobile while you were using horse carts.
read the history of karl benz, you nabo.
after ww2, they had the bmw 501, 502, the mercedes benz 300 sl, etc.
none of those jewels has anything in common with the typical british crap.
Yeah, that typical British crap that every successful person in the world joins a waiting list to buy.
Aug 18th, 2014 - 06:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Which leaves out 99.999999999% of you envious knobheads.
Like I said, ask your friends the Chinese!

Aug 19th, 2014 - 12:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0i was talking about the country where the car is made.
so you have the ford focus for instance, vw amarok, chevrolet cruze, vw passat, etc. which are built in several countries.
well, you don´t have to pick the ones made in england.
their standards are soooo poor.
got it now, you nabo.
Comparing VW or Chevrolet etc, too Rolls Royce, Bentley, Astin Martin, Morgan, Jaguar.
Aug 19th, 2014 - 03:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0Now that's class!!!!!
It took a company from a former colony to come to the rescue of a British piece of junk.
Aug 19th, 2014 - 04:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Indian Tiger beat British Jaguar.
That would be the British piece of junk that's making a profit for Tata would it?
Aug 19th, 2014 - 04:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0Did you even read the article?
Check out the last paragraph.
WTF am I saying, you did!
PMSL.
What TATA did was to let the British management MANAGE the business unlike Ford who were always interfering.
Aug 19th, 2014 - 11:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0It was as simple as that.
Land Rover Solihull were a big client of one of my businesses so I have first hand knowledge of what went on.
cristina.... washing windshields of land rovers in traffic lights is not a business.

Aug 19th, 2014 - 07:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are so funny: you WISH you could get a job like that in TDC istead of being paid an arsewipe for each comeback you get on MP.
You owe me an arsewipe now.
Pony Paul still won't thank the British taxpayer for the £millions still being sent in Aid, via the EU, to Argentina.

So ungrateful, one does what one can, yet the lack of appreciation just breaks my heart. You do everything you can for these people yet they still run amok.
oh my! Will they ever learn?

Aug 19th, 2014 - 09:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0i already told you, we will say “thank you” for those 1 or 2 million dollars when you say “thank you” for the 30 billion dollars we sent to little britain during ww2.
and do not forget to say “thank you” for the 4000 argentine soldiers, pilots and nurses who saved your asses.
and do not forget to start paying that bill.
Please do send the bill.
Aug 19th, 2014 - 10:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you can prove it to be legally outstanding, I will happily write you a cheque myself, you cheeky young scamp!
May I politely suggest that you have received, how do we say,
not the very best of historical education?
I do hope your family may one day better its situation.
Personally, I would recommend emigration.
I hope its not wasted on you, that being my erudition...
