Incidentally, I'm not sure what caused Swade's antipathy towards Youngman. Given that GM is not granting licensing, in order to protect its own interest in the join ventures with SAIC and other Chinese carmakers, Youngman's strategy of selling cars to China for a few years to finance Phoenix/900 development does make sense. The Chinese carmarket is a much more profitable one and less difficult (in terms of product acceptance) than say the US market. Letting them work out the bugs and beta-test there (macabre jokes about fleshy crash test dummies aside) before selling new Saabs here does make sense. That's more or less the GM strategy with new car development nowadays, like the new Buicks and Chevies, all designed and engineered in China to Chinese market demand, which is more than double the size of our new car market nowadays, and a consumer base that is less picky (or dare I say, clueful) than American consumers who have had decades of car ownership experience.
