GM has announced the demise of Saab. The last possible deal to save it
failed. Saab long enjoyed a hardcore following of fanatics. They took
a seriously wrong turn and lost them all. The car lost it's cachet.


Exactly. Just another car.
Used to be, you could differentiate car brands from 5 miles by seeing a tiny
speck of the body outline. Or a glimpse of a taillight. Today, you have to
walk up to them and read the nameplate to tell a Camry from a Caterra. Saab
stood out. No longer though. It would take quite an investment and major
style change to bring back a low volume brand.

Maybe they could bring back the 3 cylinder 2 cycle engine though.
