Re: Saab eyes low-volume future

WTF?

Quote:
Saab's new low-volume cost structure relies heavily on factory and parts-sharing with other GM marques, a strategy that will do little on its own to support Saab's efforts to build its brand as a distinct entity.

This is where the Turbo X comes in.


The turbocharged car comes with a 2.8 litre 280 bhp engine, and unlike conventional Saab's it comes with four-wheel-drive.


Ummmmmm..... OF COURSE!!
Excessive parts sharing will do nothing to distinguish a brand. Design is only as good as the parts being used in the design!!

**** it. The new 9-5 is gonna have an Opel center stack and steering wheel, huh???
