You can see the difference in the cars. Mazda is not wholly owned, iirc, Volvo and Jaguar are. For all your irony, I seriously wouldn't drive something so obviously badge-engineered as the models the latter two marques are beginning to churn out.
BTW, TVR have recently been taken over, and not by a major manufacturer. This means an injection of capital, and no downside in terms of platform sharing or navel searching for brand identity.
