Good points, but in so far as the A4 making Audi, I disagree. As you may recall, it was the CBS 60 minutes hatchet job on alleged spontaneous acceleration that killed a flourishing brand before the A 4 brought it back. Back in ski country, a BMW was worthless whereas the Audi quattro were marveled at by those us who owned jeeps or truck with AWD back in the early and mid 80s (SUVs and lattes had not yet been invented).
Volvo always marketed safety and the MB and Jags were always about prestige. BMW blew SAAB away about 1990 when it just pulled ahead in chassis design. SAAB has never in my view competed with AUDI quattros or BMWs or Jags or MBs (except for convertible sales) since about 89-90.
Just my two cents.
