@patina.research Don’t forget what they took from us. They took Saab. Saab began as an aircraft company and built cars in its own clever and unconventional way. Great engineering. Loyal fans. Small sales. GM bought in, never invested enough, and pushed Saab onto shared platforms that hurt the brand. After the 2008 crisis GM cut everything that lost money. Saab was on the list. Spyker tried to save it but could not keep the factories running. The supply chain collapsed. Production stopped. Saab went bankrupt in 2011.
