Anybody seen an analysis of how much ford Lost since the acquisition of Jaguar? It’s been a continuous money pit as far as I can tell.
Actually the Jag moved to the top of the list dependability, performance, at least their top of the line did. Keeping a Jag touch to their "lower cost" models. However, I am told the demand for the Jag in my part of the country was not there.
Where I live, luxury sports model autos like the Jag can be used only a few months out of the year, and keeping up with the Jones Family is not on the high list of priorities; like say if you lived on Long Island or California etc. LR, on the other hand is doing a good business here and not built to be a disposable vehicle. I have over 100,000 and paint is like new, dependable, just she needs a swig of oil in between changes for under $2..which costs less than my drive up to get a Coke more frequent.
Would I like better mileage, sure but cannot even use clean diesel (which can take biofuel as well) in my (green image) state. Diesel (our nations truckers) suffers at the pumps, so that Americans pay less; but still keep old habits. We are behind Europe in many respects on what we are able to drive.
