I remember being in Europe in '66 and driving a BMW 700. A true crappy econocar with a BMW twin aircooler under the trunk lid. That was IT, their Auto production at that time. BMW was close to closing it's doors apparently. Only the forceful efforts of the NY importer got them off their asses, building a car to His specs The "new" BMW 1600. All else followed.
Saab had a world beater product with the 1978 Turbo !. Couldn't build 'em fast enough to meet demand. So they responded, by raising the purchase price.. by several thousand $$ EVERY year following. Which brings us to their current plight. GM weren't the only missmanagers.
