Well, naturally. We'll just have to deal with Chinese quality issues. Oh and cars that look like they were designed by Dr. Seuss.

Introducing the new Saab Think. Because the thinks think you can think too:




3 out of 4 Lorax agree that the new Saab think is splendiforous.

Well I guess we can agree at this point that any company that is going to revive an unwanted company such as Saab, is going to do so in a way that will suck every ounce of innovation and character out of the company and operate only for pure profit and nothing else. Then dump it, and leave it for the next "investor" to come along
