Very wrong indeed, and that's not all. The picture shows a prop plane (prop behind the cabin as a pusher) and in 1945 only Germany and the Brits were making production jets and prototypes respectively. Really in 1945 the war was just ending and to say that SAAB was making jets is just ridiculous. Of course that was the very beginning of jets and hardly anyone knew they even wanted jets much less having less demand. SAAB was not making jets until many years later. Also since there is no longer any relationship between the Swedish aircraft industry and SAAB cars, the whole basis for the ad is suspect, GM is just rebadging cars for sale as Saabs and/or doing facelifts. So sad. The whole thing is very disturbing but what would you expect from GM? They have produced some of the worst ads and marketing plans ever in the industry. The ignorance of the advertising/marketing people is just amazing. Shameful ignorance at best, liars and cheats at worst.
