DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. is selling its Jaguar and Land Rover businesses to India's Tata Motors Ltd. in a $2.3 billion deal — less than half the price that the struggling Ford paid for the two luxury brands.

Wow, I bet their stock takes a tumble. Haha tell me im not the only one who chuckled a little when I read the name "Tata"? Someone? Anyone? Bueller?

 

Those guys have their hands in everything over there. We've worked with the consulting group. That whole company basically works on the premise of taking care of everything in-house. Rumor was that when they were building some new office buildings, they put out bids, then decided it was cheaper to buy all the equipment and hire the people to do it themselves. Then when they were finished, they turned all of those assets into their new construction company.

I guess the executives needed new cars, so it was just easier to buy out the automaker.

 

Doesn't Tata mean "goodbye"? When are they leaving?

Wow big news. Was there anything mentioned about when they are selling Cummins

 

how the tables are starting to turn, India was once a colony and now they own two of Britain’s most prestigious brands

 

why not, they have been making the stuff for years anyway.

 

Well, I was thinking of some wisecrack about buying a pair of those cars just so I could claim to have "nice Tatas."

Then I realized two things: 1) I'm broke and 2) It's not really funny

 

Hmm... If you got a Jag and a top of the line Range Rover, then they would be "Bodacious Tatas"
