Saab: 1947-2009

You know, At first I thought Government takeover would be good for GM, you kno, to help them build more quality cars. But, now, all it's doing is creating problems. We saw this in the death of Pontiac RIGHT AFTER they finally started bringing performance back. Same deal with Saturn. The General FINALLY gave two brands good cars, then they kill respective brands. Genius marketing idea. No, really. Maybe Ford should off Lincoln, too. Why doesn't the White House take control over Ford, too. They've ruined Chrysler by not letting Fiat take over right away, and now the go and murder GM. I bet the Camaro is on its deathbed too. Pricks.

Anyway, since GM took over Saab, the brand has gone way downhill. Gone are the decent performance drivers cars, what they've been producing is utter shit. A Saab Trailblazer? Really? Oh wait we can shove a V8 in it and charge $50k for it. No one will notice. Of course they didn't, that's why no one bought them. The 9-3 and 9-5 are nice looking cars, but since the dealer network is shit, no one's buying them. Same with the oft-overlooked 9-2X. Great idea, good packaging, but again it's dealer network and lack of good advertising. Which brings us to the "new 2010" 9-5. Since GM killed Saab by not letting Spyker or Koenigsegg buy them, well, they're toast. I betcha that new 9-5 that's supposed to "save Saab" isn't even coming out. Good job assholes. Why don't you sever ties with Isuzu, too, and put Buick on the chopping block as well. Obviously the only thing you guys care about now and much miles per gallon you can eek out of overpriced, lousy, small cars that won't pass on crash tests. I want my G8 back, and I want my Turbo Saab back. I also want a C7 Corvette, too. Apparently car enthusiasts are too much to cater for now. You just lost ALOT of fanbase with your recent actions. Keep it up, and those "employee pricing" schemes will be the only way you assholes can sell cars. RIP Saab. RIP GM. Go burn in hell.
