Unfortunately, you'll have to put up with a few ads for this free video, but it's worth it.
Enjoy!

FYI There's a new series starting next week on the Science Channel "How It's Made: Dream Cars". I can't tell yet if they plan to do an episode on Jaguar but Aston Martin is in the lineup.

Very interesting episode for sure. I am struck by three things:
1. In the video, their industry expert says that Lexus really caused the decline of Jaguar. But I really think the decline of Jaguar started well before Lexus even existed.
2. I'm sort of amazed at how such a small company (Jaguar) can afford to make such an investment in this truly space-age technology.
3. Those robots sound like a huge expense for Jaguar. Do they really only need to be rebuilt every 8 years?!

2. Ford owned Jaguar when robotic construction was in the design stage. Tata also appears to have deep pockets.
3. That's probably less costly than 8 years of maintenance for a human. Robots aren't unionized...yet.

Lexus is one heck of a challenger, although I happily traded mine for the Jag... I really enjoyed how Lexus pampered me at the dealership for any of my maintenance issues. From dashing to grab doors ahead of me (including opening my car door as I pulled up), to asking which car I would like as a loaner during service. They have a notch up on the way most customers are treated after the purchase. When I told my Jag service rep I needed a loaner they said "Oh, I can call Enterprise and have someone come get you." (Really? wow.... So sorry my $1800 in service is an inconvenience to you....)
I do agree, I think Jaguars decline began before Ford stepped in in '89.

Ditto, although 240p and wonky audio keeps it from being a good watch. I did read the Nat Geo (I think) on the new XJ which had the same format at the Speed makers episode. Even saw an XK on the line at the end.
I was surprised that they were only producing 28 cars a day. Looked like 2010 models too.
