The Jaguar brand must still be worth quite a bit, an easy opportunity for a Chinese EV maker to buy out or JV to gain market access? I'm thinking one of the lesser known (in the West) brands not Xaomi or BYD. Such a tactic worked pretty well for SAIC with the MG brand AFAICT. Not sure how Geely is feeling about acquiring Lotus though. BMW buying Mini brand seems to have been very successful.

I'd love to see some fine old British marques brought back to life with new technology.
Remember when Geely (under whose ownership Volvo has been resurrected into a viable brand with year-beating sales, and the Smart brand resuscitated via JV between Geely and Mercedes) offered to buy Aston Martin but they'd rather be sold for half the money to the Saudis instead? That's the level of intellect they're operating on.

Beggars choosers, think themselves too good for a paltry $1.4bn, now forced to settle for half the sum instead.
