JAGUAR LAND ROVER to lay 5,000 off.

[Dippo]

I'm with you 100% on drowning the kittens - some puppies are OK though!

And there was me thinking that those of us who voted leave were choosing the end of the world.

Magna Steyr in Graz is a boutique assembler working for all the major houses (the Mercedes G class, BMW 5 series hybrids and the X3, the Toyota Supra, and convertibles for lots of firms etc) . It would be a curious brand strategy to move ALL of JLR to Austria - they charge an understandably significant premium to do shorter runs for others. (That said, they do have a big production capacity)

Would the world buy Austrian Jaguars if made in big volumes?

This optimistic news should perhaps be calibrated by what Chief Executive Ralf Speth told Reuters earlier in October 2018. Currently Jaguar's only electric vehicle the Ipace is manufactured in----- Austria

“We haven’t made the decision because we don’t know at the end of the day the final conditions and we also see uncertainty resulting out of the Brexit discussions so we don’t know where we can do the investment best.”

Sure.

Nothing nasty ever came out of Austria did it?

Nobody but nobody voted on that basis !!

I strongly suspect a sizable minority actually did.

The failure to see or comprehend this is a significant contributor to the current political dissonance.

More shocking things have come out of Birmingham than Austria, surely.
