Tata Motors has taken a huge step towards securing the iconic UK car brands Jaguar and Land Rover, after their owner, Ford, said it was to hold detailed discussions with the Indian group over a deal that could be signed next month.

================

Cheapest car manufacturer in the world acquiring luxuries brand like Jaguar... Strange marriage of these 2 car makers on 2 extreme end for the car industry. My aim is to buy a Jaguar for my next (or next next) car... with Tata's name inside... not sure how it will pan out... i m sure the 2 solid brands will take a hit in terms of customer perceptions.
