hey just curious, what is your personal opinion on ford owning jag.rovers and A Mart's

i feel it make those luxery exotics better

lay down your 2 cents
 
better? NEG.
 
I don't like Fords.
In terms of business for those companies, it works out well.
They can make more money on the lower models by sharing platforms and parts - easier to maintain as well.

The high end versions don't seem to have as much Ford contact with them - whereas for example the Jag X-Type is nearly all Ford underneath the outer skin (forget the name M-Something).

I don't know - I'm biased, I don't like Fords.

Ford = Crap.

Jaguar = Used to be awesome.

Now, Jaguar = Ford.

Thus, Jaguar = Crap.

When was Jaguar awesome? They have a reputation of being not much performance and a huge hassle to maintain.

The sports cars are cool, but the '80s were a bad time for all of them.
 
Jag, Land Rover, and Aston Martin are all doing better under Ford's house. It's very hard for these nameplates to turn profit in the very crowded High-Lux market.

Either you get sucked into a larger company, or you sink.

Don't buy a new one, you'll take a $20K hit in depreciation in the first year.

I'm sure if you've got yourself a jag right now you could just walk right in and do a test drive but tell them you still have a MB you have to look at.

bottom line, everything ford has stood for historically is the exact reason I buy German.


i dont care for lines on BMW and benz....every one has one of those 2


and i like how the xjr is super charged but still rides smooth.....m5 was out of the question with me as in price and as in other reasons...
