This is not about making cars.. its about accuring the brands. These luxury brands will still be made by the exsiting skill port. Only change is the management. HOPEFULLY.
hence Tata are more suited for his becoz their track record with union handling has been good.

Like Corus, JLR will also be Tata's

TATA's have had a successful joint venture with Mercedes Benz for over 30 years.It is rubbish to say that they only make pauper mobiles (nice turn of phrase). The difference is that they ALSO will make low-priced cars and the low price is due to the low production costs in India. Tata's do not make the Mahindra Jeep.

"Unions are believed to favour the bid from OneEquity... " no wonder Ford want to get rid of thse brands. WIth Union people so thick upstars, no one will ever make any money with them.

UK jobs will be more secured if they sell a car company to another car company and NOT an private equity company. Car company will always have interest to develop another company and take it forward, but the private equity firms are just concerned about profits (not employees) and will do any thing including slashing thousands of jobs to get those profits. Hence, I think it is better if unions prefer Tatas or Mahindra's instead of One equity.

I seriously hope Tata don't win it? have any of you ever been in one of their Jeeps?? Bad handling and seriously dangerous. I can't imagine a company that makes cheapo pauper mobiles will get control of Land Rover.

Tata's should get it, as they have a good M&A record, with corus. And the future of automobile has to be seen in light of a partnership/ownership with a low cost production centre in India or China. Staying within Europe WON'T solve the problem, at best just post pone it. Which is why Ford is putting it up for sale. Tata's are also not just an automobile group, they are one of the world's largest and most diverse corporations, so synergies within the group would make better of the brands if it were to go to Tata's.

Hope Tata wins. If there's one company that knows how to integrate a business without hiccups, it has to be Tata

TATA will just buy it and go.
