Unfortunately for me, I've driven more Saabs than you ever will. Even more than in one of your wet dreams. Each time I cursed them for putting the ignition key down there because it's such a retarded place. Just like when Toyota put the parking brake as a pull handle on the dash.

Good job with your in depth knowledge of the company history. Anyone who has watched tv recently knows that too since it's the first thing they brag about on the latest tv ad campaign.. They have nothing left BUT their history to talk about anymore.

GM has owned Saab for quite some time. They bought it in an attempt to try and take some of the market share the BMW and Mercedes has in America by just going out aquiring a floundering Euro brand for a fairly cheap price and trying to build it up into a real competitor in the Euro car market. They also own Opel. I'd rather they import those cars and leave all the fucking Saabs on that side of the Atlantic. Other than the latest GMT360 based SUV, GM has pretty much allowed Saab to remain autonomous over the years they've owned it until recently. Now they are trying to "save" Saab by platform sharing with other GM divisions. To be honest...that new SUV of theirs isn't half bad. Only because it's based on a tried and true Trailblazer, and NOT something those guys who made jet fighters created in house.
And what do you mean "now own 20% of Fiat" huh? If you really spewed "fact" and not speculation out of your keyboard...or maybe just did some of that research you think I should be doing, you'd know that Fiat's partnership with GM ended many months ago. GM had to pay $2 billion to cut them loose. Too bad, I was hoping to see what the "employee discount" was on a 612 Scaglietti a couple months ago.

Second only behind Volvo. Volvo and Saab go 1,2 in a couple catagories. Sab is also the second most unexciting line of cars I've ever driven with Volvos being the #1 borefest for me. Proving once again, that you revel in mediocrity. If you're going to pick a boring, yuppie-ish, slow as fuck car...you should have gone for the one that does it the best. As yes I said slow. Shit a fucking Cadillac was beating you! Tell me that isn't slow.
Before you run your mouth to me again junior, just know that you're wrong. Before you even TOUCH that keyboard...you're wrong. Save it and keep yourself from looking even stupider. I know what I know because I'm in the position to know. Your knowledge of GM, who they own, and so on is just absurd. I just hope that nobody reads your post and think any of it is actually true. When a person who is stockholder of General Motors (I wish they were soing a little better right now though), and a man who does in fact work in the car business tell you what's what about GM...just swallow your fucking pride. Sit back and be educated. Don't get all butt hurt and think you're getting over on me by saying I'm gay or whatever just because I said you're an idiot for posting up your dumb ass road rage story. You're an idiot. Plain and simple. Deal with it.
