Tywais Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Spotted this parked at Makro in Chiang Mai. Jaguar XJL, red plated and all. Perhaps Bangkok members find it normal, Chiang Mai not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 Must be the top of the Zhulian pyramid. Trying to figure out what Zhulian is. Some search says Malaysian investment company, others show branches of some kind of store. Perhaps owns Makro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submaniac Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I saw one of them on the roads in the USA (not too rare here). I am not digging the styling. Jaguar usually makes very elegant and stylish cars. These ones...well when I first saw it, I thought it was a Volvo. Looks like the kind of car that the American luxury makers (like Lincoln) would make. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) Trying to figure out what Zhulian is. <snip> Perhaps owns Makro. Makro is owned by Metro, maybe you remember them because they are the company who threatened Microsoft with legal action for infringing on "Metro" trademarks held by Metro AG. "Metro" had been the name of Microsoft's new "Windows 8-style" user interface.

harrry Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) It is getting more and more that chunky look. In a little while it will look just like a TATA Ambassodor. Edited December 22, 2012 by harrry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 I am not digging the styling. Have to agree with that. Just not the same. As for my Makro owned remark, it was tongue in cheek in case you missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 It looks better with this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignis Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) Go to Google....... put in 'tata luxury cars' You guessed it that car is the Jaguar XJL.......... Land/Range Rover is there as well under Tata luxury cars Think it looks OK as long as you do not look at the rear Most odd, seen a few, everyone looks as bad at the back Edited December 22, 2012 by ignis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSJ Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Zhulian make care repair equipment and spray booths in China.....but they may have other interests. When I contact companies using Alibaba or Global Sources I often get a laugh. Amazing how many promote themselves as big concerns yet the still use Yahoo as their email address! Or they are selling steel profiles, rolled steel or plate and breast pumps. it's too funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaka Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 It looks better with this though. I do hope she is not included in the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
