jpd80 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Land Rover/Jaguar -42.5% That has to be a worry to old man TATA, especially if his Steel plants are off song too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfeg Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Have you seen this? http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic...362/OPINION0339 The head of Fiat seems pretty pessimistic about the situation. Looks like you guys in euroland are doing the same dance as us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Looks like you guys in euroland are doing the same dance as us. Only their governments will probably be far less likely to turn some loan assistance into the circus it has become here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfeg Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 No, their circus will just have a different name. The environazis in the European Council (or whatever that conglomeration is called) over there want the car companies punished because they are building cars that real people buy, and not building cars ahat are greener than green at any cost, which very few will buy.

Ford Jellymoulds Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) That has to be a worry to old man TATA, especially if his Steel plants are off song too. Yea l bet his not a happy chappy that will teach him to listen to T-Stang, Ford's numbers are lot better lately this year they are now snapping at VW's heels and are No 2 in Europe without J/LR. Ford only have Volvo dragging their numbers down a little now. Edited December 17, 2008 by Ford Jellymoulds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuga sold 4,100 and the new Ka 2,100 units. I know Mondeo was 2nd in market share in its segment behind the VW Passat as of September 2008.
