		<description><![CDATA[Until this morning I couldn’t reliably spell Koenigsegg. It was a little company of fewer than 50 employees making fewer than 20 cars a year. Now it has effectively taken over Saab.
Accepted wisdom is that to compete long-term, smallish car companies (of which Saab is one) need to be in the hands of bigger car [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=foreman.blogs.topgear.com&blog=4140443&post=1026&subd=bbcforeman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

If you want to know what’s been ailing Saab all these years, today’s unveiling of the 9-3X wagon is a good place to start. Saab actually invented this car seven years ago. But GM bungling means it hasn’t been released until now.
I mean, the 9-3X is hardly a difficult car. It’s just the 4WD version [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=foreman.blogs.topgear.com&blog=4140443&post=688&subd=bbcforeman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
