He also did a fantastic job with his stewardship of Jaguar and Land Rover.

Condolences to his family and friends.

I thought it was doing pretty well with over 10,000 pre-orders and all the good reviews from various sites.]]>Apr 21st 2008 3:35PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/
Ever heard of a Porsche Cayenne? A Mercedes 1998 through 2006? A Subaru?

I haven't seen any published sales numbers myself, but are you suggesting Jaguar is going to turn a profit any time in the next five years? Because it's just not going to happen.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 1:25AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/Apr 22nd 2008 1:11AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/
And secondly grow a sense of humor you uptight priggish wanker. You're the one who's devoid of social graces - in the words of the great English writer Oscar Wilde, a man with more flair than you'll ever possess:

"A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal."]]>Apr 22nd 2008 1:21AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/Apr 22nd 2008 1:32AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/
And yes, I have heard of those cars. You say them as if I've been living under a rock for these past years.
I thought the 'new' S class which I think was produced from 2005 was a handsome car, and I think the same of the Jag XF. It is a handsome car - pretty but not beautiful. And what car do you own? ]]>Apr 22nd 2008 4:16AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/He will be remembered for many achievements in the Automotive field not least of which being his time at Ford Australia. All those Hi performance Aussie Fords everyone keeps drooling over, Polites had a hand in them.
Bottom line, this is a post about Geoff Polites and a chance for us to pay our respects to a great man who had a positive effect on the automotive industry. Your comments are highly inappropriate and I suggest you show some respect and keep your worthless opinions to yourself from now on.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 5:03AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/
So I apologize if I offended your delicate sensibilities, have a good day sipping your weak Earl Grey tea and quietly philosphizing about the long gone good old days of merry old Victorian England or whatever the heck it is you do with yourself.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 8:57AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/Apr 22nd 2008 6:02AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/jaguar-land-rover-ceo-dies/Apr 22nd 2008 9:17AM
