That's where SAAB was in the 70s. International Motors in Falls Church VA was housed in a converted large former gas station until the mid 90s. Now they have grown up into a very fancy and well respected dealer with a very impressive building on very expensive land. They are one of the top ten SAAB dealers in the US and they did not get there by catering to grumpy DIY penny pinchers. I know you want SAAB to survive as I do, but that is not the direction Victor Muller is taking. You should see some of the palaces the other euro brand dealers are building in North Scottsdale AZ. That is where SAAB wants to be and so do I.
Why do people rob banks?
Because that's where the money is!
