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 GM got a bit of a kicking fom the Obama administration, how about Chrysler? The President’s team has said it doesn’t believe Chrysler can survive alone, so if it doesn’t finalise the deal with Fiat within the next 30 days, it gets no more Government money. Which would inevitably leave it bankrupt.
So, for the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=foreman.blogs.topgear.com&blog=4140443&post=875&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.
