Basically they are going to introduce diesel engines and a number of new models this year and net year. As long as those models (Discovery Sport, XE, F-Pace) are successful then they should see some big growth by 2016.

with what we have see from them on this forum.... they sure have the foundation to help them in that direction.

That is going to come down to the actual products though. Hopefully Jaguar won't have the wind taken out of its sales with some poor reliability news. I'm sure there are plenty of people who are watching to see if there are any problems with the new models before they decide to put down for themselves.

fortunately when it comes to jaguar, the status that comes with owning one will overpower the possible reliability issues just a bit, plus it's a unique offering in this segment another small plus side to help them.
