Hi,
What a great idea but I think GM has ruined it! Buying what GM has left standing will not get us back a viable auto company.
I lived in Sweden 20 years ago and rented my apartment from a SAAB engineer who was responsible for the testing and development of the 4 cylinder engines. He recounted the fanaticism of his engineering group for quality and performance. Personally I also was developing another engineering product for Northern Europe and constantly had to face the Swedish mantra "It is never good enough" during the development process. I am sure that GM has beaten that out the organization.
Sorry to say but I think we will have to cherish our cars as nothing like them will ever be built again!
I have an 87 Turbo convertible and a 96 hatchback - both wonderful vehicles. (I saw a commentary on SAAB this week which said that SAAB build "quirky vehicles for quirky customers" Vivre le "QUIRKY"
