Saab dead - Long Live Saab!
Well it's pretty much official that Saab is going down. The Swedish goverment (henceforth refered to as ******* ********* who don't know what the *** the are doing!!!!!!) has once again said no to ANY kind of relief for the company. This saddens and angers me in the deepest and I hope that some kinda car company will ofer to buy Saab from GM. Which is unlikely.
Saab is dead. Long live Saab! :(

Let me put this is in more clear terms to you then: this is the last reliable and afordable domestic Swedish brand. After Saab is gone we have Volvo and Koenigsegg. The latter is not affordable and the former, uh, I hate!
This is for us like it would be for you if Chevy died..

Frankly I think no one who hasn't owned a Saab should dare to try and comment on wether or not they are cool or have style! These are great cars. Also what the hell is up with the hate here? I thought this was a car lovers forum, but so far this thread has mostly consisted of people making it sound like this was Toyota going under. If that is what the bonds of friendship are between car fans then that make me sad.

Saab might not mean anything to us, but it does to the Swedes. How would you folks feel if you had only 1 domestic choice for an automaker?

that's too bad, saab's are sweet little cars. I've never driven one, but I've seen them around, and I think they are decent...

I think i have honestly seen about 3 Saab's on the road in my entire life. 99% of people out there couldnt even tell you one model that Saab makes.
I say who cares and let it go. Same with Saturn.......bye bye. Mercury is gone is 2013 most likely. |
