Valmet in AI

FYI - there's an interesting article in this month's Automotive Industries Magazine on Valmet Automotive (where the Viggen, 9-3 Convertible, and Boxster are built in Finland). I was surprised to see the article.
It's interesting that they claim to have 10% less quality problems than their customers (i.e. SAAB and Porshe). The article gives a quick rundown of the relationship between them and these customers.
The article mentions that the Viggen is assembled on it's own line (whereas the Boxster and 9-3 Convertible are assembled on the same line), and that there may possibly be a Roadster (Sonnett) and a 9-5 based crossover SUV built there.
In case anyone is not aware AI is an industry (mainly for Manufacturing) periodical that is free to subscribe to, and can be via there web site.
