For 2003 that means a market share of 0,3 % (for 2002 around 0,2 %) I've looked up the numbers for NL; http://www.autoweek.nl/verkoopcijfers.php?merk=3DSaab http://www.autoweek.nl/verkoopcijfers.php?jaar=3D2003&viewmerk=3DSaab and it looks like in absolute numbers, Saab in the USA sells in a month = what they sell in a year in NL (3659 cars in 2002) so, about 12 times = more.=20 Saab in NL has a 0,7-0,8 % market share, more than twice the USA.=20 Related to total population (~~300 M vs ~~15 M) Saabs should sell about = 20x more in the US. However, what counts for GM is the total profit made on all cars sold, = in absolute numbers. ------------------------------------------- MH '72 97 '77 96 '78 95 '79 96 http://go.to/saab96
