Sad to see what's happened to a once great, once British, brand.

Jaguar was historically known for terrible quality control, right? When I was young, the joke was that you had to own two; one to use while the other was in the shop...

Yeah "once great" is definitely a huge exaggeration. They're terribly unreliable. In the 90s we had one Jag in the neighborhood I lived in and it never moved lol. Everyone knew they were junk even back then.

How it usually went (not sure about now, but certainly 10 years ago): Dodge < Jaguar/Landrover < Germans cars < American cars < Japanese cars

> once British

All of its senior executive leadership is still British

Obviously not true.

One of them is German.

Both speak Germanic languages, close enough?

As British as the British Royal Family then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Windsor

Even better then.
