i bet it will not affect the dealership structure. im trying to be optimistic about the acquisition, but my fear is that when Tata got into the IT business, they helped take the market into least cost IT services. A different sector of course, and obviously all companies are in business to make money, but based on that, I'd be surprised if i saw them spend a lot on R&D, launch many new LR or Jag cars, etc. Tata has the distinction of recently introducing the world's cheapest car - how well do they understand this new part of their portfolio? We'll see. With such low expectations, i guess anything beneficial they do for the LR brand will make me happier. Tata, if you are reading this, bring the Defender back to American shores at reasonable prices and we'll love you. :-) And could you resume making Range Rover Classic parts? Thanks.
