Seems nice enough, but it would no doubt sell better as an Opel/Saturn.

Perhaps but I think Saab, can become a profitable european influenced sport/lux manufacturer.

LOL.....
 
Saab, is on it's way up because GM, has made a commitment and Volvo, well is on it's way down because Ford, will not have the money to revive it. Volvo, will be left to wither away like Saab, did for almost 10 years.
 
We will see who's right !!!!

Ford has put a lot more resources into Volvo than GM did for Saab. Ford will probably sell Volvo soon enough to be saved by a different owner. As for Saab, it will never sell like Volvo, because it's a quirky brand selling quirky cars. The moment GM decides to make it more mainstream, the moment Saab looses its charm and becomes like any other brand. And then what's the point if that happens? GM already has Cadillac and Buick.

Well Saab will become like Volvo is to Ford, a unique European flavor. I do believe Saab, can become more mainstream and if the sell as well as Audi, BMW, etc, then they have reached a once impossible goal. Sure GM, is several years away from accomplishing that goal but it should be what they are shooting for with Saab.

The fundamental difference is that Ford has not altered Volvo's Corp culture or identity.
Volvo is allowed to do their own design and engineering.
GM has virtually removed all product decisions from Trollhatten.
They are now made in Detroit and Russelsheim.
You can't disembowl a company like GM did and expect it to recover.
