I agree entirely. This is great news for LR. At last they will have owners who know how to run a business. Tata will let the local management get on with running the company and have committed to a 5 year plan. How many businesses get that opportunity these days? Land Rover's destiny is now in their own hands and I can't wait to see how it goes with products like the LRX on the horizon.

I also would not be concerned about the loss of American ownership. In my experience, Ford has demonstrated a typical American reaction for dealing with problems in their own back yard - ditch the foreign elements parts of their business (ie British) and use the proceeds to prop up an ailing organisation.

Good luck Land Rover, here's to a great future.

New lrx due out around 2010. Work already underway on it. Live your life be free-lander

It's good news if LR employees are happy with the deal. I just hope it doesn't go the same road when rover met BMW and we found out afterwards that all they wanted were the engines and mini. Thankfully, with the great vehicles LR are building today, the future could be very rosy indeed. Just need to clear out some of the bad dealerships now and a government determined to kill the vehicle industry.
Does this mean that the customer call centre will now be in India too. Never mind, Windsor Davis (who?) will keep them on their toes.
Lr2maker, please pass my thanks to your colleagues for the assembly of my vehicle. well done, lads!!!  Out with the old (2007 SE)
In with the new (2012 Dynamic with everything). Now also gone.
