I'm optimistic in that I'm hoping TATA funnels money into Jag and LR and allows them to develop and evolve on their own. Ford was OK with it at first, and I don't have a beef with them sharing a few things among the premium auto group members (volvo switch gear, odds, ends, etc), but I could have seen ford forcing land rover to tart up and explorer and try to sell it for twice the price. If anything, I see tata using LR and JAG as a test bed for new technology.
