The Brits would be real unhappy if that motor ever showed up in a Ford. That's notgonnahappen.com.

But Jaguar is part of Ford's Premier Automotive Group, and PAG is pretty exclusive.  Fancy supercharged Jag engines aren't destined for Fords if PAG has anything to say about it. And the LS will be gone in a 3-4 years, which I am sure has something to do with PAG exclusivity.

But Jag is part of Fords Premier Auto Group, and things like their high class interior pieces and high priced engine components have pretty much been agreed on before purchase as being exclusive to the PAG brands. So he's right. Owned by Ford or not, it's notgonnahappen.com :p
