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.
