Jaguar Land Rover building factory in China | Business | guardian.co.uk (http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/nov/18/jaguar-land-rover-factory-china)

:thumbsdown:

I wonder if some will still be made in the uk....so you have a choice.

Looking at Chinese build quality in the mining industry.....I don't think is a good thing for the brand.

Might have to update before the switch occurs.

More likely they will be pumping out china only editions for the chinese domestic market, removing import duties so that they can greatly increase sales in the largest growing car market in the world!

If they do export from china it will be low end pretender models.

Loving the ceramic look! :D

Maybe the reason Discos have always had a curry holder?

I'd honestly be more worried about the fact that LR will be sourcing ALL of their leather from India now.

There is another longer article floating around on here somewhere and they mention it wont be changing the UK manufacturing side of things.

I've seen the Audi's in China that where made there. They where not quite the same somehow. Or maybe it was just that while I was there I was always weary about if something was a genuine item or a copy! lol
