If there is anything that Saab can do is more advertising and this association with aircraft is true. Furthermore, the current advertising campaign making the relation on the current Saab automobile lineup is accurate as it has roots in the aircraft industry and that is history which cannot change. It is a great tagline and has meant one of the best starts to a year in Saab's 59 year history. > > Stay positive, optimistic and proud that things are coming back again! > > Keep Saabin' > > SG But did you read the newspaper article? A hangar for your 9-5 Aero? What planet are they on. Yes, Saab has aircraft heritage, but so has BMW and Rover and even FIAT. It maybe good advertising to point out the link since aircrafts must be build to high standards, but it's doubtful that any aircraft engineering is found in a modern Saab. When this association is exaggerated, you feel like a little boy in in a toy car that can take off and land. I can imagine people thinking: Poor guy, he thinks that his car is a jet aircraft. Hence that made me speculate what is a car these days. It's a lot about style and presentation.
