I saw that ad last night, and almost had to destroy the TV. Very annoying. Not a Rover fan, I guess. They are very popular in LA among the legions of wannabes, though.
Don't believe they've been sold to India yet, though seems likely they will be. Jaguar, too. US Jag dealers have petitioned, stating that this will be bad for image/sales. They are probably right.
Brits have sold Tetley Tea, and British steel to India already. Interesting to see the old colony buying the colonialists!
Had a friend who bought a new one once, and it broke down 1/2 mile from the dealer's lot. Dealer refused to pick her up! (Hornburg in the Valley). She canceled the check, of course.
