Absolute hogwash. As long as the cars are good, Jaguar will sell. In todays world of consolidation, no one cares two hoots about who owns the company. In fact, many dont even know who does. If you see an Indian owned Jaguar as a compromise, its only as much as a German owned Rolls Royce or an American owned Aston Martin. So much for the heritage. May also do us good to remember how a brand new Japanese owned luxo brand (Lexus) beat the crap out of the famed Merc + BMW brigade. Audi wasnt even in contention.

Exactly !! I think this is a proud moment for all of us and we should be celebrating Tata's success instead of being cynical.

btw Aston Martin is now part Kuwaiti owned and part English owned.
