They wont be complimenting each other much longer
I beg to differ. I read an article that said the ties between Jaguar and Land Rover are too deep to sepearate them. At least in the short term. Don't forget all the V8's are now Jaguar units and I'm sure there's lots more shared running gear. This is why Ford are sellign both. They picked on Aston as they said this could operate as a separate business and didn't reallt want to sell LR and Jaguar, but their too deep in a mess.
The way I read it is that they are lumping Jag into the LR sale, and whoever buy's it will just asset strip LR and let the Jag name go to the wolves as it is a loss making operation
Read this from the Guardian today. It says : -

Splitting the 2 would take time and cost money, which is why I said they could not be split in the short term.
short term , OK... but I wouldnt take a big loan out if I worked for Jaguar or a little one come to that
