It is just not economical for a company
like SAAB to use many SAAB specific parts
for their cars, but GM also lacks some parts
that are needed.
Stuff GM simply does not have:
a) Decent AWD system (FIAT has it, GM not)
b) AWD gearboxes, (see above)
As GM does little to nothing to sell real AWD
cars world wide, they do lack know how in that
field, and it also seems that they are too
proud to take it from FIAT. There is just that
feel that Stick. AWD cars are too expensive to
produce...
Regards,
Coolknight
