Coventry's new captain signed from Detroit

Article Abstract:

Ford bought Jaguar in 1989 and placed 46-year-old American Jim Padilla as Executive Director, Engineering and Manufacturing. He intends to keep Jaguar's character within a mass-market efficient manufacturing environment. Style and performance are the main characteristics of a Jaguar, so the use of Ford components and specialist suppliers will not affect their appeal. His priorities are products, quality and cost. New models are planned for the mid-90s.

Article Abstract:

In-car navigation systems are likely to start becoming more widely available in ordinary cars in the near future. Manufacturers such as Ford, Volvo and Renault are developing easy-to-use technology, and BMW is planning to launch a system in the UK in 1996. This will become standard equipment in the 750iL.
