Hi,
It was the perfect deal for Mr. Tata----. Ford wanted to off load it--- Mr. Tata wanted a foothold with a brand name and he snags a name like Jag and LR---so where is not the positive outlook here.
Both the parties are happy---. Indians can walk with pride now that an indian owns Jag and LR----and britishers are happy that at least the americans are out of Jag and LR---.
For Ford---these brands were pocket change---a sore issue and no recognition---for Mr. Tata---a world of a difference---I mean to say---just t own a brand name like that----.
So---from where did you get the idea of " no positive outlook on Indians "!
The haste Ford Motor company showed in off loading these iconic brands was something I was not able to understand at that time because they were just turning a new leaf with capturing new markets and able to revive the sales. In hindsight it was not so big loss to Ford but major gain for Tata.
