I can't find it on the web, but I saw a table that showed Saab way in the bottom of the list of sales volume. Well below Volvo, even below Porsche if I remember right. Same ballpark as Maserati. http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/business/6656322.htm says Toyota, Ford, and Chevy all sold around 500,000 cars through July of this year. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2001755723_autosal es02.html says Chrysler sold 147k and Toyota sold 140k in September, about 32 TIMES more cars than Saab sold in the same month. Ford sold over 81000 F-Series trucks alone in September !! Gary
