Saab May Be GM's Best Hope for the Future

I am a long-time Saab fan, but unfortunately, most people never caught on to how far ahead of the curve Saabs have been. People didn't want, (and still don't) want a FWD 4 cylinder turbo entry luxury car that gets 30 mpg with 60-70 cubic ft of cargo volume, (my 9-3 wagon has more cargo volume than a Ford Edge and a Mazda CX-7. I also average 28+ mpg with half city miles. Saabs have always been the true AntiSUV. They are light, safe, efficient, and sharp looking. It's always funny how people criticized them before for being quirky. That was supposedly why they never sold in higher volumes, then when GM tried to make them more mainstream, then many of those same people criticized them for being too generic.

As for the whole GM and Detroit 3 loan issue, I summarized all my thoughts on an article I wrote on my blog here...
