Saab vs. SAAB

Even though I am fully aware that "Saab" is a proper acronym (Svenska Aeroplan Aktie Bolaget), I thought that much like the word "radar," I was correct to use title caps when writing "Saab." But it seems most of you use "SAAB," as though it were an all-caps acronym that did not form a pronounceable word, like "BMW" or "AMG." Nowhere in any of Saab's literature or print material have I seen it as all-caps; it's always written as "Saab" -- except of course in logos and vehicle badging, where nearly all auto manufacturers use all-caps (TOYOTA, LEXUS, CHEVROLET, VOLVO, ACURA, etc). So which is correct, then? I vote for "Saab."
