What do you Brits think of Ford selling Jaguar and Land Rover to India's TaTa motors?

Do you guys even have a British owned automaker anymore? It seems that every British automaker is owned by Germans, Chinese and middle easten companies except for GM's Vauxhall division.What do you Brits think of Ford selling Jaguar and Land Rover to India's TaTa motors?
Indians are more used to making Rickshaws than luxury cars. jaguars fate will be disastrous. How can a company used to making small low budget bad quality cars, that hasn't even been able to export into other markets be able to maintain a company like Jaguar?
Land Rover and Jaguar are pretty much destroyed. Tata makes cheap unreliable crappy cars(if you can even call them cars). The two weren't RELIABLE cars to begin with but now with tata running them their whole reputation is jacked along with the reliability.What do you Brits think of Ford selling Jaguar and Land Rover to India's TaTa motors?
I don't care who owns them.

All the British companies are owned by other companies.



Ford-Jaguar and LandRover

Middle Eastern company-Aston Martin

BMW-Mini and RollsRoyce

VW-Bently
When I read about that, I just had to pinch myself to believe. Basically, jaguar is doomed. I wonder if tata motors has any know-how to develop and produce jaguars to the same standards they have been built so far. We first saw jaguar going downhill when it was sold to ford(same happening to volvo) and now, they're handing the brand over to..tata motors??? I think people will think twice before looking at jaguars now. It'll be only funny to see the words "manufactured in India by tata motors Ltd" on side door stickers.What do you Brits think of Ford selling Jaguar and Land Rover to India's TaTa motors?
it's sad, but i guess that's the way business goes. and it's probably what these automakers mean by globalization. i mean you got honda accords being built ohio and nissan trucks from tennesse and volkswagens from china. european designed saturns as well as aussie made pontiacs....the lines of origin are blurred nowadays....
we only really do top end cars in small numbers like:

Lotus

TVR

Noble

Arial (atom)

stuff like that
