Tata plans to build Jags & Land Rovers in China
Well, it is not a surprise that Tata is planning to build Jags and Land Rovers in China, as it seeks to cut costs and increase sales in emerging markets. Germans have done the same, but there is a big difference... no factory was closed in Europe.
You can read below an abstract from the article as published by Bloomberg.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tata will start Chinese manufacturing with Land Rover models and in the future, Jaguar and Land Rover would eventually produce as many as 40,000 vehicles combined, Chief Executive Officer Carl-Peter Forster said at a press conference in London, declining to specify a target date.
Setting up production in China would require one to two years after the company made any decision on partners and a location, Forster said. The division will decide by �mid-year� on which of two plants in England will remain open as the company consolidates production, Forster said. The factories are in Castle Bromwich, where the Jaguar XJ and XK cars are made, and Solihull, where Land Rover SUVs are built.

Jaguar XJ Supersport review by CAR
So, if someone was kind enough to buy me a car, just one car, I would choose a RR Ghost. But, if my sponsor was insisting for something more down to earth, I would go for a Jag XJ Supersport. I find the new XJ to be superior and much more classy than the teutonic German alternatives and Jag's latest styling language is definitely my cup of tea.
The Supersport version is powered by a supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine, producing 503 bhp at 6000 revs and 461lb ft at 2500. Is it quick? Of course it is, since 0-100 km/h takes just 4.9 seconds!
British CAR magazine has driven it and they do love it! Below is just the verdict from the review, but you can click on the link in order to read the complete story.

Verdict
The new XJ is a limousine to make Britain proud. Its design is the most stylish and modern in its class, and the cabin is peerless. Throw in a lightweight, high-tech chassis, brilliant dynamics and notable efficiency, and you have a limousine which is a genuine match for some of Germany�s finest vehicles. Whisper it, but it�s the coolest and most efficient car in its class. Who�d have thought that from Jaguar?

My favourite interior designs for 2009
Since 2009 is almost gone, I thought that it would be nice to share with you my opinion about the best interior designs for this year. My top pick is the interior of the all-new Audi A8.
Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder
The leather in the Aileron Spyder comes from a Dutch tannery that works with free range cold weather cows. Why cold weather? No mosquito bites!
