Or stick with a genuine pre-1990 Saab car (or a model built post-1990 but designed pre-1990) for longer. 8-) ... And here we were assuming GM's head-honcho's were committed to retaining the identity of each 'brand' GM has acquired? GM will lose out in a big way (at least in all markets except the US) if it tries to 'morph' the identities of it's acquired brands into some that looks 'more US-like' which is how all their acquired brands are going at the moment. I wonder if GM will start making Subaru's (and 'Saab'-badged Subaru's) in Germany as well? Sorry, Saabaru's. 8-) Regards, Craig. -- Craig's Saab Page --> http://nospam/~c900 Sydney, NSW Australia Craig's C900 Workshop -- For all Saab 'Classic' 900 Enthusiasts world-wide!
