Jag can keep their plants in the UK. They just won't be as profitable.
The real problem with Jaguar is product, not production. Yeah they nicely appointed cars, they're just so damn archaic, old as hell.
The X Type's as is was okay for Jag's entry into that market segment. That would have bought them time to build a proper entry level Jaguar. After all, if you were to skin this cat, It's just a tarted up Mondeo It's replacement should have been on the drawing board before that thing ever hit the showrooms.
The original S-Type was successful because it's lines were radically different, it stood out in a crowd. The replacement is a flop because it became a part of the crowd. The older car looks fresher that the current gen S.
The XJ. Dates back to flintstones. Let it go. Move on.
XK - Just a mere knock-off of the Aston Martin coupes.
