Guy has been there 35 years. He's part of the problem.

During his tenure, they Jaguar was sold from British Leyland to Ford and again to Tata Motors. Now going all in on EV. They company just seems adrift and will probably never recover from the peak 70's legacy.

It would be inspiring if Jag broke away from Tata and starting making legendary vehicles again. Would take significant investment and vision - not sure it could be done. Prob. easier to create a newco.

When Ford bought Jaguar Group they sent one of their manufacturing gurus out to look at Jaguar’s auto manufacturing plants

His evaluation - Nothing here that a bulldozer cant fix.

“Now going all in on EV. “

AND quit manufacturing ICE models without even having the new EV models ready to sell ...
