Oh, please!

New Flash: neither of these luxury “Brand Names” are vital importance to any country’s econmy!

Jaguar is nothing more than a expensive product that no one wants, which equates to being serverly over-priced. If a luxury item cant be sold for a decent profit it is WORTHLESS!

Range Rover is as stupid a proposition as Hummer is today. WTF purpose does a maker of oximoronic over-priced vehicles that that will NEVER be used as intended serve today?

Not for nothing but the people that SHOULD be customers of both brands still have money to burn but are unwilling to burn it on these products just as they were not in GOOD times.

Okay, I’ll take a fat handout too. I mean everybody’s lined up to get one – right?

How about paying off my mortgage?

The bullshit phrases that the rich come up with never cease to amaze!

“The bold and concerted actions announced by our government this week to unblock the banking system and the vital first cut in interest rates from the Bank of England are welcome, but we still need to take action to stimulate the real economy,”

Thats funny! Although I suppose it sounds better than “we told ‘our’ government we want our cut too”

could you imagine how much better a Focus or Fusion would be if Ford would have spent that $2B a year for 20 years on their own cars…

Ha! Ford lost about $2B per year on Jaguar for 20 years, could there really be an amount of money Jaguar wouldn’t burn through?

Hey, India used to be part of the British Empire, right? Everybody is friends. In fact, I believe the Brits should be bailing out our automakers, as well as providing cash to South Africa, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, and every other former colony.

The Dutch should also provide bailout dollars since they once inhabited New York City.

And the French and Spanish too.

Everyone owes us money.
