Jaguar Cars Company Description
The pride of the British automotive industry now takes a passage to India. Tata Motors acquired the Jaguar and Land Rover brands in 2008 for about $2.3 billion. (Ford Motor acquired Jaguar Cars in 1989 for $2.5 billion.) Jaguar now offers a line of luxury coupes, convertibles, and sedans, including the XF (a replacement for the S-Type), XJ, XK, XKR-S, and the entry-level X-Type. Ford tried to overhaul Jaguar's money-losing operations by cutting production and consolidating manufacturing to a single UK site. The reorganization also cut jobs, retooled Jaguar's retail and marketing operations, and withdrew Jaguar from Formula One racing.
