Jaguar doesn't even have an engine four-cylinder diesel, which shows the difficult way exclusive premium decreased.

"Grace, space and rhythm," how the company used to sell its elegant saloons and rapids and sportscar, but these days, sales, frugality and tax efficient fleets are equally important requirements.

There are plenty of water under the bridge of this old Coventry car maker, proud especially since Ford bought the company £ 1. 6bn in 1989.

Sometimes it seemed that Ford used Jaguar as a sinister laboratory of experimental business ideas; the plan failed to upscale Jaguar to a competitor of 400,000 cars-one year for Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, the replacement type F reserved for the car of type E sport submission failed for the glory of formula 1, or the disastrous based on Ford Mondeo "small" Jaguar X type.

Yet there are some things right at Jaguar.His drawings, for so long a banal-theme park cars English war, is now cool, sharp and highly desirable.US sales would be free wheel, but "Jag Waar" is located at the top of the influential JD Power index for U.S. customer satisfaction.

Then there is the upcoming replacement car sport type E, the fourth such replacement we know, but still brimming with potential and portent.La small JAG, replacement of X-type, which fortunately the company takes its time during the unfolding more controversial.

Carl-Peter Forster has promised that Jaguar repair will take a decade and is considering entering the business volume .c ' is a promising but even start with Land Rover lending volume, Jaguar enjoy never economies of scale enjoyed its rivaux.Il will always suffer from a lack of investment funds and solution to sell profitably cars is a fast-existent management and cool and desirable brand, not qualities offer abundant Jaguar in the past.

Carl-Peter may change direction? hope so.
