Established....of course.

Respect, cult following...not so much.

Its depend on country to country in Japan , you wont find 3 Star and 4 Circles car , so in Korea also.

Primarily its limited to western hemisphere. Just like iphone , where in Japan, iPhone technology is a decade old technology.

merc / Audi is limited in EU while Japanese cars rules the US market.

Yes,you're right.

I hope no hard feelings.

I respect Tata as a man and businessman. But he will be what he is wherever he would go.

Hi,

It seems like you are not an engineer------. A vehicle design and engineering is reflective of the character and personality of the nation designing it.

Now if the design center is taken to a different country and you give them an all out permission to do what they want----you get a 2009 Model of Acura TL---TSX---ZDX---a total failure----from the best design to the worst design---.

Nation or the Chief design led engineer? as the BMW 5 series was designed by Chris Bangle and many consider his 'box' shaped designs as rather boring, bland and lacking any vision. Jaguar cars look better in my view in terms of the image but design is like a woman and each person has their own preferences.

Hi,

When you talk about Ford---you are talking about Ford USA. Ford had no real interest in the Jaguar and Land Rover---. They bought it to see if it would work for them----it did not---they dumped it.

Jaguar and land Rover may have a name in Britain and india---but in the U S---they are worthless vehicles---with very poor reliability and resale value----.

For americans---all jaguars were under powered---over priced cars----unreliable cars----. They never took of---and same thing with Land Rover----.

As Ford was not into high end luxury car market----it waved it good by---. Tata got the opportunity---so he snagged it----.

Remember---car sales 101----no car is a piece of sh-it-----. There is an ar-se made for every seat. The seat for the jaguar and LR was made for Tata---he bought em----.

Don't talk like a retard when you know squat about sales in the US. Check it out....

Hi,

As always---thank you for the much deserved barb.

Report: Two children dig their way out of kindergarten in plot to buy Jaguar

Jaguar's "It's good to be bad" advertising campaign (Jaguar)

The first week back at school can be a troublesome time for many.

Two 5-year-old children in Magnitogorsk, Russia, found it so troublesome, in fact, that they hatched a plan to break out of kindergarten and buy a Jaguar, according to the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.

Amazingly, it worked!

Almost . . .

The two children were successfully able to break out of their fenced-in kindergarten by reportedly using tools from the sandpit to dig a hole under the fence. They had apparently been gone for 30 minutes before it occurred to the kindergarten staff that they were missing.






Together, the report says they travelled for about a mile until they came across the Jaguar dealership, at which point a passerby became concerned by seeing two children hanging around at a car dealership unsupervised.

According to the report, the children explained that they’d come to buy a “grown-up car” but had no money for a down payment. Not too much later, they found themselves in front of the police, who returned them to the kindergarten where their teacher was apparently fired and the kindergarten head was issued a warning.
