People in the Subaru community are worried about the GM investment
in FHI. I think the partnership with GM/Saab so far has been great.

The Saab Active Head Restraint is actually a patented GM invention!!!!

GM didn't have the balls to productize it but Saab took it and made
it work.

Driving a 9-5 makes you realize it still has all the nice little Saab
touches and feels like a Saab.
