Saab Nike). 8-) That's really plumbing the depths of reality.. lol Heck, the Saabaru seems like a better name, since GM stuck it's ass into the face of Subaru as well so GM could acquire Subaru's innovative technologies, and GM's done the same thing with Saab. >I laugh/cry every time I see one of the TV commercials say "Be independent, >drive a SAAB" as they homogenize the marque out of existence. Which is probably what GM ultimately wants to do, since they are only truly interested in their local North American market. Everything else is chicken feed.
