GM may axe the Saab marque
 

[quote]DETROIT - A General Motors review of its Saab subsidiary could lead to the upmarket car brand being axed, if the heavy investment required to revive it is deemed unjustified.[/quote]

[quote]GM added two new models to the Saab line-up last year in what executives said was a "quick and dirty fix" to improve sales. But Rick Wagoner, GM chairman and chief executive, admitted on Sunday that the new 9-2X small Saab, based on a car from Subaru, GM's Japanese affiliate, had not met sales targets after a botched US launch.[/quote]

Goodbye, fair Saabaru.

Sweet. Maybe I can buy a couple 9-2Xs in a 2 for 1 deal :D

i've said it before... saab started going downhill when the moved the ignition from the center console to the dash.

Being a former Saab mechanic & "proud" owner of an '86 900 turbo, the GM was the best thing to happen to Saab.
Remember, the ur-900 body style remained pretty much unchanged from 1978 to 1994.
This was due to the old owners inability to invest any $$ into the marque.

If Saab ceases to be, oh well, GM has tried.

i had an '88 900 that we brought over from germany. i loved that car.
