Up till last year, Saab was eligible for no duties in North America as it was owned by one of the big three and was duty exempt under NAFTA.
The Japanese filed suit at the WTO that the duty exemption was unfair and that US manufacturers bringing foreign made cars like Volvo, Jag, Saab were cheating. WTO ruled in favor of the Japanese, but said that US could eliminate all duties, or raise duties on their imported cars. So Saab et al. got duties slapped on them comparable to the tariffs the Japanese pay.
