You're a bit late with that one.

Already well discussed here. See previous threads.

So were SAAB, IMO - they should have made a much bigger fuss over this guy
and his car. A missed opportunity in many ways, which is a shame.

Isn't it just.

Mind you, Volvo missed a trick when one of their cars ticked over the two
million mark a couple of years ago... as I recall...

Problem is that "past performance does not indicate future results..."
Now Saab is GM and Volvo is Ford.

An uncaring owner can ruin any machine.

True, also bad garages can run your machine. I do synt oil/filter change
every 3500 miles and flush coolant every 3 years.

Oil is pretty much the cheapest engine component :)

One only has to drive the cars in question to know that is an extreme
over-simplification.

Guilty as charged. Actually said companies have benefited from Saab and
Volvo engine Technology.

:)

It's ironic, really, isn't it.  Personally I've always thought that Saab's
best products have been a reworking of somebody elses' work.  What happens
now with the GM platforms is no different...
