What does that mean…really?

We don’t know how many times through the millennia one gentleman has told another, “Be careful with her – she’s beautiful, but she’s expensive.” We would like to know if Alan Mullaly offered that warning to Ratan Tata (above) before the latter bought Jaguar and Land Rover (JLR). As with the Blue Oval before it, Tata Motors is about to throw billions at the English luxury marques and it is looking for help doing it.

What does that mean? Tata can’t afford to build Land Rovers and Jags? Macro economics would probably have been a useful class.
