CityRover - what if things were different?

One aspect of the car industry that fascinates me is the 'what ifs'. So many difficult decisions have to be made and it is interesting to ponder how things may have turned out had circumstances been even slightly different. A potentially fascinating case was recently raised almost as a throwaway comment on the excellent AROnline website so I decided to give this a little more thought. The conjecture was this: had the CityRover been successful, could we now see a partially recreated form of Rover Group in the ownership of Tata?
