    Ford potentially selling Jaguar (and Land Rover)

    What do you all think of such a move, and who do you think potential suitors for the brand may be?

    Could Land Rover possibly go back to BMW?

    . Their probably going to squeeze as much juice outa them before they sell.

    Quote:
    that it was still not certain that Ford would part company with Jaguar and that there was a chance it would be retained, but with reduced production and a concentration on exclusive luxury sports cars.



    Quote:
    The Sunday Times said Bill Ford had told staff in a memo last week that adviser Kenneth Leet would explore strategic options.

    Jaguar has been bleeding red ink for quite a while. A friend who works for Jaguar tells me that the only reason Ford hasn't sold it is that no one wants it.

    Sell them back to BMW (at least jag). Since the current range is basically a BMW design.

    Give them both the BMW and they will EXPLODE.

    A REAL 'R' Jaguar and not a piece of crap with the same engine for the last 7 or 8 years.
