The Detroit radio stations this morning were reporting that Ford is taking the initial steps to sell their Financing Company and the Jaguar brand.
I thought Jaguar had been homogulated (sp?) into the Ford product line in much the same way as Saab into GM, i.e. Jag no longer has separate unique platforms and engines but obtains these components from the parent company. Is the Coventry plant still operating or has it been closed?
If the story/rumor is true the end result could prove an omen to Saab's future. Can a fully absorbed automotive brand later be resold as a viable business unit? Or will Jaguar cease to exist?
