Everyone knows the tale of Brand X getting bought out by some faceless global conglomerate and going to shit, but does the opposite ever happen?

    You mean Tata Motors? Jaguar is no longer owned by Ford, but by JLR (Jaguar Land Rover), which is a subsidiary of Tata Motors.

      Nope. Jaguars were absolute trash before Ford bought them out back in the day, then got a lot more reliable (but arguably uglier, so as not to compete with Aston Martin) when built with Ford stuff. Tata purchased them semi-recently and they’ve gotten even better.
