I remember at the NW 04 SOC some GM reps came out to field qestions about the future of SAAB and this topic came up. Their response was a surprise to me. They said there was no market for a diesel car in the United States. Sure diesel is getting to be expensive along with gasoline, but wouldn't getting 40-50mpg seem pretty attractive to alot of families in America right now.
Also I think that broadening SAABs product line with a vehicle already exists in the SAAB family would make total sense. Why not give VW some competition in the diesel market.
GM also said it was very difficult to get these cars emission properly for U.S. market.... but it can be done.
Sorry just venting. I think this would be an excellent proponent for increased SAAB sales. I just don't know what GM is waiting for.
