[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still don’t understand how they’re in business but SAAB went out of business. Does Ford or somebody own Volvo? I suppose now I’ll Google it. Saab’s were hands down better in all ways. A real loss. [/quote] Two reasons. Obama's hack "car czar" Steve Rattner forced General Motors to cut brands (SAAB being one of those brands). And two, Volvo was about 4x larger than SAAB. Here are their sales figures leading up to the Great Recession and SAAB closing up shop: Volvo: 2005 123,587 2006 115,807 2007 106,213 SAAB: 2005 36,071 2006 30,560 2007 32,711[/quote] SAAB was selling re-badged GM cars, like the Cadillac SUV built in Mexico. They lost their SAABness.[/quote]
