On the Saab thread, oh dear, how sad it is. Used to be totally bullet proof, old Merc build quality for half the cash.
Then GM took a controlling share and quality control nose dived. Then GM got into global do-do because it couldn’t sell its mediocre cars, and tried to close Saab down, Saab fought to get free but needed GM agreement for tech information to be passed to new Chinese funders. GM refused. Now Saab is bankrupt. Very sad, and an object lesson in global capitalist ‘progress’.
Saab owners – be aware of the ‘We are Saab’ rally at Saab’s Cranfield, Beds HQ tomorrow. Single finger to US corporate asset strippers.
