And to think GM may very well be looking at similar success, if only they open their freakin' eyes.

Such success may very well lie in Saab. Saab announced the next-gen 9-3 will be built on GMs Delta II small car platform. If I recall correctly, back in the 70's Saab did pretty well selling one model, the Saab 99 which became the 900. GM should scrap Saab's entire lineup -- no more SUVs or crossovers or large luxury cars -- and concentrate on making a Delta-based 9-3 a worthy, premium small car competitor to the Mini (as well as such cars as the Volvo C30, Golf and sure, why not, the WRX and Evo). GM can sell them alongside Buicks with Saab representing the premium small car part and Buick handling midsize and larger premium cars.

I should be running GM.
