    Jaguar sold 20,346 cars in the UK in 2008 - an increase of nearly
    nine per cent over 2007. Globally Jaguar did well too, selling 65,350
    vehicles, up eight per cent on 2007's figures.
    The new Jaguar XF is responsible for much of the company's success. Jaguar's managing
    director Mike O'Driscoll said: "We introduced the all-new,
    award-winning Jaguar XF, and that attracted significant numbers of new
    customers to the brand." Jaguar's results are impressive in the
    context of figures released today by the Society of Motor Manufacturer
    and Traders, which record a tough year for luxury marques.
    Porsche's UK sales figures fell by 31 per cent in 2008, while Mercedes slumped by
    nine per cent and BMW by almost seven per cent. Even market leader Ford
    went from 346,982 sales in 2007 to 322,514 last year, a drop of 7.5 per
    cent. Overall, the number of new car registrations in the UK dipped again last month, but not as sharply as had been forecast. Total UK car sales for 2008 only fell 11.3 per cent but, totalling just 2.1 million units, these represent the worst annual sales figures for 12
    years. New car sales dropped by 21 per cent compared with
    December 2007, but the drop was less than the 35 per cent analysts had
    predicted. December's figures also represent a significant improvement
    on the 36.8 per cent sales slump in November 2008.
    The SMMT has forecast a 16 per cent drop in new car sales for 2009, which would make
    it the worst year for car sales since 1992, and renewed calls for
    government help for car makers. SMMT chief executive, Paul
    Everitt said: "It will be another difficult year for the UK automotive
    industry, with new vehicle registrations significantly reduced. The
    extraordinary circumstances we currently face mean that government
    support will be required to take advantage of global economic growth
    when it returns.

    Thats a very splendid beginning for the JLR-Tata duo.

    So JLR-Tata duo is doing well? that's a good news anjan. Despite economic slowdown, Jaguar has reported a increase in sales.

    The cars are really attractive to me. The dials are aimply superb. Wish they bring it to India.
