Now that's a Saab! They were really well regarded cars in the eighties, probably up there with BMW. How the fuck did GM balls it up so badly? Oh wait..........

The company I was working for in the mid 80s had them for most of the board members. I only drove one once, a 16v Turbo, but shit myself when I inadvertantly hurtled across a roundabout in Stevenage just after leaving our offices.

SAAB fucked themselves over, GM just helped them on their way.
