Huge loss if true! Geely or China should snap him up so that they can get 1st rate JLR designs without having to copy.

McGovern heading to Audi AG to join Massimo Fraschella ? They have a history of constructive professional relationships at JLR as well as FoMoCo.

Honestly design was Jaguar's last problem..... And a brand doesn't falter with design as that's subjective. If everything else works great, people will still buy. Example: BMW.
