{{{I wonder what happened to Jaguar, though? }}}

.... It is isn't pretty.

When Jaguar was owned by Ford, Jaguar lost money hand over fist. The whole debacle cost Ford billions of dollars.

Tata came along, an Indian company, and turned Jaguar's fortunes around very quickly. Jaguars are still built in England but now under different ownership they are very reliable, good quality control and is now a profitable marque.


But would we want BMW selling out to Ford, for instance?


Depends who the "we" are.

Looking at the Jaguar debacle I suspect most people in the world would not want Ford anywhere need BMW.

Hold on to your hat, it is more likely Tata buying Ford than Ford buying BMW. If this were ever to occur the moral indignation on this site could be picked up with a shovel. :)
