There is no other way to phrase that murder. GM milked the SAAB-cow and let the situation rot. That is absolutely scandalous. All SAAB-ists have to write GM CEO to address their anger and to ask production to resume. GM killed SAAB. There is no other way to phrase that murder. GM milked

Maybe Saab can manufacture Re-build kits, my first 900 Turbo logged nearly 200,000 miles before my automatic transmission wore out and I had to get the steering rack replaced.  I was rear-ended, car was totaled but I walked away unharmed.  My present car is going to need a steering rack... maybe Saab can put together kits of different parts for rebuilding the car.  A lot cheaper than buying a new car and I believe that selling kit units will also be a boost to the economy.  Of course I would like to have better gas mileage.
