Cadillac SS at Trollhattan.....

One of my favorite pitches about Saab quality is to explain how when Trollhattan retooled for the 9-5 it was with $550 million of GM money to make the Trollhattan plant essentially the newest automobile plant in the world with the newest and latest in painting, robotic assembly and ISO 9000 zero defect processes. That we've exceeded our competition in quality and reliability at BMW, MBZ, Audi and Volvo because they are manufactured in older plants strained to capacity, whereas Saab's Trollhattan plant is still underutilized.
So a Cadillac styled variant of a 9-3SS makes perfect sense. The more cars they build at Trollhattan the less each car costs and the healthier Saab stays.
