Good. Should lead to a price reduction, and better spares situation. Also, if some of the DNA rubs off on Tata Motors build quality may improve faster.

The cheaper Freelander 2 will have many anticipated buyers (including me). IMO, it will be a success if they price it right (within the X1 range).
Going the experimental way to attain the best possible result with least investment. :)
God forbid, it shouldn't work in the opposite way! You know what I mean
