Of course, the GM news always includes Saab as an aside, and there was that splash about the Swedish government backing Saab and Volvo to keep them viable. Other than that, Saab is under the radar, which I feel is a good thing in the long run. Saab will not be seen with the same taint that the big three (GM, Ford and Chrysler) will wear once things begin to roll again. Just as it was back in the 1980âs when the Chrysler Corporation was bailed out by the feds, the bail-out cars will be austere almost to a fault — the burden of massive debt does that to a company. Saab, being viewed in a somewhat different category, will hopefully side step that issue to remain somewhat on track as a premium brand.</p> 258<ul> 259<em><strong>On Saab as the Apple of Car Brands</strong></em></ul> 260<p>Iâm not sure that I want to wear the “Apple of car brands” badge, either. Apple certainly makes exquisite hardware that seems so “right”. However, they are pricey and proprietary. Apple tends to be very protective of their proprietary nature, almost to the point of arrogance. I hope that Saab doesnât go there. The Saab legacy is as good design accessible to the everyman. I hope that isnât lost in the translation.</p> 261<p> <a href="archives/2009/02/eng-random-ruminations-from-the-road/#more-12815" class="more-link">[Read the rest of this entry →]</a></p> 262 </div> 263 <p class="tagged"><span class="add_comment"><a href="archives/2009/02/eng-random-ruminations-from-the-road/#comments" title="Comment on EnG random ruminations from the road">→ 8 Comments</a></span><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="archives/category/troll-stuff/" title="View all posts in Troll stuff" rel="category tag">Troll stuff</a></p> 264<div style="text-align: center;"> 265<br/> 266<br/> 267</div> 268<div class="clear"></div> 269 <img src="images/buttons/Aero-Xmini.jpg"><h2>
