[Spridgets] another Chinese Item...Jaguar

[Guy R Day]

Mike,
Check out just how many motoring manufacturers have partnership that build 
in China.  You may well be surprised.
Wiki list around 13 joint ventures with other manufacturers and around 18 
domestic makes.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_industry_in_China
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Jaguar don't sell all of their Chinese 
built cars over there or to the eastern market.  The potential market is 
around 3 fold of that in the US and in today's world it is a sound 
commercial step.

And don't forget the future - where are most of today's rare earth magnet 
ores found for future electric cars?
