Tata are a very successful and apparently well-run company. Not so long ago they decided to branch out into IT consultancy and didn't mess around with it. The "Tata" brand (associated generally with mass-marked products rather than high quality) didn't appear to hinder them. They seem a switched-on bunch. I don't think them taking over Land Rover would be a bad thing, apart from the obvious temptation to move manufacturing over to India, which is a bummer if you work for Land Rover.
I worry more about the Jaguar-shaped albatross wrapped around Land Rover's neck.
V8MoneyPit:
I think I'm right in believing they have links with Mercedes. So build quality should be OK.
Range Rover Blues:
I don't know about links with Mercedes, but they ripped off the 3 pointed star for the front of their pick-up type truck.
Didn't know they owned Chorus, maybe not a bad thing I don't know. When Avesta was sold that was mainly for the order book then anything else.

Tata didnt rip off the merc badge they are one of a limited few companies allowed to build merc engines under license for their own use , the pick up they build although not pretty actually has quite a good engine
