Whitley, Coventry: Jaguar Land Rover has announced today the opening of a regional office in Singapore to support its growing sales success in the Asia Pacific region at a prestigious event hosted by the British High Commission in Singapore.

Managing Director, Jaguar Land Rover Asia Pacific, David Blackhall said: "I am delighted to announce the opening of our regional office in Singapore. Asia Pacific is Jaguar Land Rover's second fastest growing region, with sales growth of 38% YOY in 2012. Extending our global presence to Singapore confirms our commitment to pursuing the tremendous potential in this region and to supporting our Importer partners."

Jaguar Land Rover opened the Singapore regional office this month as part of ongoing global expansion plans and is recruiting locally for its new team. The company's regional hub will support its Asia Pacific Importer partners in their sales, marketing and after-sales operations.

This bodes well for the brand. It will give the German marques a run for their money.

Go Jag!!!

actually.. i would rather our jag not become as popular like the merc and bmw.. we're still very unique, and quite atas.. once you start flooding the roads with jags like the 5/7 series and the C/E/S class, no value liao IMO.

There would never be as many jags as compared to the German marques because there is no resale demand for our cars here in SG.

So, don't worry! :)

I choose to think that if we are successful doing what we are doing, improving awareness and branding of the Jag, resale demand will have allround positive effects. 👍

what i mean by value is perceived value, not monetary value.. i dont buy a car thinking of its scrap value/or resale value lol.

the jag has a much more atas feeling compared to bmw or merc. to me, its the middle ground between the normal luxury cars such as bmw/merc and bentley/RR. if there are more jags on the road, it just may remove this middle ground and "downgrade" us to the bmw/merc value.

when u see the cars on the road, its like, wah lau another merc/bmw (same tone like toyota) , but when u see a jag its wah swee lei, then the head will follow the car (same tone like supercars and super lux cars).. ok maybe i'm disillusioned.. lol..

Jags were always super value, luxury (rolls Royce level) and performance (Ferrari level) but at a cost the middle class could afford, the criminals favorite car in UK in the 1960's was the MK II, 3.4 (the fastest soon in the world) the modern day equivalent would be the XFR-S.

When the 'E-Type' was launched its was GBP 2,000, it was the worlds first 150mph car and was a third of the price of the equivalent Ferrari !!

Jags are now popular again in the UK (especially the XF) this is a good thing, jaguar needs to be a thriving business else it will cease to exist.

It's inevitable that if Jaguar continue with their revival under Tata and bring our better and more popular models (F, 3 series equivalent, A1/A3 Jag and SUV - all of these are supposedly in the pipeline) then there will be a lot more jags around as it looses it's 'old man' brand image.

This is good for Jag and good for us, yes we won't be so special anymore but at least we will know we bought not because it is trendy but because we love the marque!

Yup with Tata around...I am sure we will be seeing more on the streets in time...and I think its a good thing. However, quality should never be compromised...this has been visible in lotsa German marques through the years and its negative in my opinion.

Have any of you heard that Jag's next agenda in terms of new cars is a rival for the 3-series and c-class. They say that the styling will likely be similar to the xf but also come with a few features previewed in their concepts from Geneva... Should be pretty good, but judging on how they have done with previous attempts at the base executive car market, we might be seeing a failure.

I like to think that they would have learned from past experiences. The recent successes from the XF and XJ coupled with the improved reliabilities show they know what they are doing. I have added a thread "X Type Successor " in the X-Type Folder. Pics of the successor car can be found at the parent site. Check it out.
