Libs all over the western world must be in mourning right now.
A true lib would not have purchased Saab for its military ties.
I am a gun toting Red Neck and a SAAB Nut.
The last real Saab was the 96 built from 1960 to 1980 I have owned over 20 of them 93's 96's and 97's. My buddies called me "Sven Svenska" just like the mythical SAAB racing driver. I love the smell of TWO STROKE IN THE MORNING IT SMELLS LIKE VICTORY. The were a well built car made to last. Richard Grossman is rolloing over in his grave
Mrs. RQSR, and myself are hardly what anyone could call “Libs”. We’ve been driving SAABS for many years. Currently have three, and have had as many as four at one time.
Love those cars. They have taken us through many a foul Winter through the mud, and flood of this rural area we live. They are great off road vehicles some might be surprised to find out.
Will probably buy Ford next time we need to replace a car now. Sad to see SAAB cars go, but it was inevitable when GM cheapened them up. Trashed them IMO. Even if they could get the financing to keep producing them they would have that GM instilled crappy car reputation to overcome.
That's okay - they have Subaru ready to step in to fill the void. Have you seen Subaru's touchy-feely commercials lately? Enough to make you lose your lunch!
