The new guy from Boeing that'll be calling the shots is a very unsentimental no-nonense businessman. He really helped turn Boeing around (for now, anyway) but it wasn't pretty.
My guess is the Rover name deal was in process before he was hired, was relatively inexpensive, and that the name will be bundled with Jaguar if they try to sell that division.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/iagree.gif Just cut a bunch of jobs in the Ontario plant(might have closed it entirely?) I really can't image what they would do with the Rover name, Rover branded cars haven't ever been really popular on this side of the pond.

That is, if there's an army that's fighting you - we've lost all the battles so far because we're steadily retreating.
