I got a small surprise this morning reading the local Sunday Daily Herald (a Chicago suburban paper). The auto section had a half page article talking about the history of Saab. They started at the beginning mentioning the 16 aircraft engineers in 1937 starting the company to produce "highproformance aircraft", adding cars after the war with the 92, and bring the article up to date with GM ownership and the current "Born From Jets" ads. Mentioned a number of Saab first like headlamp washer/wiper, heated seats, side impact protection, and impact-absorbing bumpers. Also said that in 1977 Saab was the first to put turbos in a mass production car. I guess they forgot about the 50,000+ turbo Covairs GM built in tht '60's. And, of course, they talked about how saab puts the ignition key on the floor because its safer.
