Saab was in the game until Lutz!

Saab had a running prototype of a plug-in hybrid years ago at the Geneva(?) auto show. Bob Lutz made them glue the door shut which contained the electrical cord so as to not steal the spotlight from the "to be announced" Chevy Volt.
I know the guy who was the Chief Engineer for Saab's electric vehicle program in Trollhattan. He left Saab to join the Saab/American Axle JV which devised a new AWD system based one electric motor per wheel, he recently left there to work at another firm in Sweden.
