Originally posted by sonhouseSorry buddy, but Saab has sucked for some time with GM having owned them. They dumped ALL of the quality and safety that was Saab. Saabs have been built on nothing more than a GM chassis for the last decade.

A real Saab story if I ever heard one.........
Ford owns Jaguar and Volvo and they are doing better because Ford was smart enough to allow them to keep doing what they do best and keep the people who do it best, while Ford only made sure they kept their quality up. GM absorbed the name Saab and cleaned house.
So, don't feel sorry for Saab... they really went out of existence some ten years ago.
